Want to do something special for your dog this Halloween? How about making him a pumpkin pie? Loews Hotels, a brand that’s known for its pet friendliness and its “Loews Loves Pets” program, sent us this recipe for a pawsome pumpkin pie. This pie is part of its new Houndly Holiday menu that’s been specially developed for holiday dog guests by Loews Hotels Executive Chef Marc Ehrler, an award winning Master Chef from France (a country known for its fondness of pets!) All menu items were approved by a licensed veterinarian.
Persian Pumpkin Pie
- 1 medium sugar pumpkin
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 nine inch single crust pastry shell
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup honey, warmed slightly
- 1⁄2 cup milk
- 1⁄2 cup heavy whipping cream
Cut pumpkins in half, and remove seeds. Lightly oil the cut surface. Place cut side down on a jelly roll pan lined with foil and lightly oiled. Baked at 325 degrees F until the flesh is tender when poked with a fork. Cool until just warm. Scrape the pumpkin flesh from the peel. Either mash, or puree in small batches in a blender.
In large bowl, blend together 2 cups pumpkin puree, spices, and salt. Beat in eggs, honey, milk, and cream. Pour filling into pie shell.
Bake at 400 degrees F for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a knife inserted 1 inch from edge of pie comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
