Coconut Cheese Pumpkin Pie

Overview

I always feel a little hungry on holiday afternoons, so I decided to bake a pumpkin pie for afternoon tea. The pumpkin pie with cream cheese has a crispy crust, smooth pie filling, rich milky flavor, and tastes like an egg tart. The shredded coconut sprinkled at the end is the finishing touch. In a cozy afternoon, the sweet pumpkin pie and silky milk tea go well together.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Make the pie crust first, add low flour and fine sugar to the softened butter at room temperature, and knead it into coarse particles with your hands.

   

2. 2 Add milk, mix well, and knead it into a smooth dough. Do not knead for too long, just knead it evenly. Then put it into a plastic bag and put it in the refrigerator for half an hour.

   

3. 3 Peel the pumpkin and cut into pieces.

   

4. 4 Place the pumpkin in a steamer and steam for fifteen to twenty minutes until cooked through.

   

5. 5 Take out the dough and roll it into even sheets.

   

6. 6 Place the pie crust into the pie plate, fit it all around and cut off the excess. Use a fork to poke some vent holes in the bottom.

   

7. 7 Place the pie crust in the middle rack of the oven and bake at 150°C for 12 minutes.

   

8. 8 Let the steamed pumpkin cool slightly, take 240g of pumpkin puree and put it into a food processor together with other pie filling ingredients to make a paste, then sift it again to make the pie filling smoother.

   

9. 9 Place the pie filling into the freshly baked pie crust and firm it up to release any air bubbles. The pie filling will not expand significantly after baking, so it can be filled to nine-tenths of a degree. I had a little less filling.

   

10. 10 Adjust the oven to 180℃, bake the lower rack for 10 minutes, then turn to the middle rack and bake for 30 minutes.

    

11. 11 Sprinkle a layer of shredded coconut on top of the baked pumpkin pie to make it taste even better.

    

12. 12 It is recommended to eat the baked pumpkin pie while it is hot. The pie crust is crispy, the filling is sweet and smooth, and the milk is rich.
