  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 eggs (beaten)

  • 150 ml milk
  • 1 tbsp icing sugar

Steps to Prepare

1. Prepare the Pumpkin

  • Bring the pumpkin to a boil in a large saucepan of water.
  • Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes until tender. Drain and cool.

2. Prepare the Pastry

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan, gas mark 4).
  • Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and line a 22 cm tart tin with it.
  • Chill for 20 minutes in the refrigerator.

3. Bake the Pastry

  • Line the pastry with baking paper and add baking weights. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the weights and paper, then bake for another 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.

5. Prepare the Filling

  • Increase the oven temperature to 220°C (200°C fan, gas mark 7).
  • Pass the cooled pumpkin through a sieve into a large bowl to create a smooth purée.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, salt, nutmeg, ginger, and half the cinnamon.
  • Mix in the beaten eggs, melted butter, cooled chai tea, and milk. Stir this mixture into the pumpkin purée until well combined.

6. Final Baking

  • Pour the filling into the prepared pastry shell.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 180°C (160°C fan, gas mark 4).
