Warming Pumpkin Pies

Cold days. Arriving home from school/kindy to a warm, home cooked, pumpkin pie afternoon tea. Served with a lightly spiced homemade Chai or After-School Hot Chocolate. Very happy children!

These are easy to make (throw in the food processor), are just as nice warm or cold, freeze well (if there is any left!), and are just plain delicious. Essentially they are a pumpkin pie filling, rather than a pumpkin pie, but let’s face it…the filling is the best bit!

I have already e-mailed this recipe out to many of you and have had comments back such as “Yum! So easy to make and so so delicious!! 2.5 yr old loved it and 10 month old loved making a mess of it while trying to devour it too”.

You can make these as one big pie or I prefer individual pies, the kids love having one each for afternoon tea.

Cook your pumpkin following the instructions here. If you have already got pumpkin in the freezer then all the better!

This is a perfect nourishing after-school pick-me-up or winter dessert. Can serve warm or cold, we like it warm straight from oven. To be truly decadent, serve with coconut or cashew whipped cream.

These are so delish! Thank you. At home with two children with the flu and these are such a wholesome treat! Made a few changes…banana instead of honey, and orange zest instead of lemon. I love the spices and the fresh ginger is zingy and healing. Pinning this one.
