All Dutch Oven for Outdoor & at home
Baking in a Dutch oven is simply part of the cold season. In keeping with Halloween and autumn, we have a real American classic for you that should definitely not be missed at this time of year: a spicy pumpkin pie recipe from the Dutch oven.
Preparation in the oven
If you are baking the pumpkin pie in the oven, you can preheat the oven to 160 °C.
Preparation with briquettes
Prepare approx. 15-17 briquettes and place 2/3 of them under the pan and 1/3 on the lid when baking.
Preparation
Sieve the flour and mix it with the baking powder, sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Add the cold butter in pieces and the egg. Knead everything together well to make a nice shortcrust pastry for the cake in the Dutch oven.
Line the Dutch oven with baking paper to make it easier to get the pumpkin pie out of the pan at the end. Roll out the pastry and place it in the Dutch oven with a 2-3 cm rim.
Wash the pumpkin, chop it into small pieces, put it in a pan of water and cook for about 20 minutes.
Pour off the excess water and puree the pumpkin with a hand blender. Leave the mixture to cool.
Mix the pumpkin puree with the cream cheese and then add the eggs, sugar, spices and cornflour.
Now pour the mixture onto the shortcrust pastry. If you are preparing the pumpkin pie over briquettes, place 1/3 of the briquettes on the closed Dutch oven. Alternatively, you can now bake it in the preheated oven for around 60 minutes.
Once the Dutch oven pie has cooled, you can whip the cream until stiff and decorate the pumpkin pie with cream and pecans.
Tip: You can also decorate the pumpkin pie as a popular Halloween cake to give it a spooky finish. To do this, save some dough, shape it into a pumpkin face and place it on top of the pumpkin mixture. Alternatively, you can print out a mould and use icing sugar to conjure up a pumpkin design on the cake.
