Pumpkin Pie

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Frost on the Pumpkin - The Blue Ribbon Pie


INGREDIENTS:

1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup cold water
3 eggs, separated
1/3 cup white sugar
1 1/4 cups cooked, mashed pumpkin (300g)
1 cup milk (almost 2.5 dl)
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (9 inch/23 cm) pie crust


WHAT TO DO:
  • Soften the gelatin in cold water and set it aside. Beat the egg yolks at high speed in a mixer until ribbons form. Gradually add the white sugar and beat until the mixture thickens. Add the pumpkin, milk, allspice, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. Beat well!
  • Pour this pumpkin mixture into a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for 5 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat and add the gelatin mixture. Blend together and refrigerate until chilled.
  • Combine 1/2 cup of the powdered sugar and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of the cinnamon. Stir and set aside. Beat whipping cream and vanilla until doubled in size. Gradually add the powdered sugar and cinnamon mixture; and beat again until soft peaks form. Refrigerate.
  • Beat the egg whites (at room temperature!) at high speed until foamy. Gradually add the rest of the divided powdered sugar a tablespoon at a time-beating until stiff peaks form. Fold into the chilled pumpkin mixture.
  • Spread half of the pumpkin mixture evenly into baked pie shell. Spoon half of the whipped cream mixture over the pumpkin layer. Repeat layers ending with the whipped cream mixture and sealing to the edge of the pastry. Chill until set.
Bon appétit!

Today on the news:

tested: 265 Belgian companies

70% of them deal with employees arriving drunk at the work place
40% of them deal with employees getting drunk at the work place
76% of them sometimes have less employees at the work place, because they're at home or at a bar, drunk.
