CLOSEGousto’s Mini Spiced Pumpkin Latte Pies
It’s officially red cup season! And what better to accompany your Pumpkin Spiced Latte than with these little flavour-matched pies. The perfect American classic, with a contemporary coffee twist (and a great way to use up leftover pumpkins).
Ingredients (Makes 12 tarts)
- 1 shortcrust pastry sheet
- 200g cooked pumpkin (or butternut squash)
- 40ml milk
- 60g soft brown sugar
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- ½ ground ginger
- 1 tbsp golden syrup
Topping
- 150g mascarpone
- 1 tsp ground instant coffee
- 2 tbsp golden syrup
- 4-5 Lotus Biscoff biscuits
Method (1 hour)
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ 400°F/ Gas 6
- Use a food processor to blitz the cooked pumpkin, until it forms a puree
- Add the soft brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, milk, egg and the golden syrup and blitz until combined then add to a small jug
- Unroll the shortcrust pastry sheet and using an 8cm pastry cutter, cut out 12 rounds of pastry TIP : if you can’t get 12 rounds, gather up any leftovers into a ball. Roll out the ball on a lightly floured surface then roll to the same thickness as before and continue cutting out more rounds!
- Place the pastry rounds into the cupcake tin, pushing down slightly in the middle
- Divide the filling between the pastry rounds, leaving ½ cm room for the filling to expand
- Put the the tray into the oven for 20-25 min or until the filling has set and the pastry looks golden brown
- Meanwhile, dissolve the ground coffee in 1 tsp of boiling water
- Using electric beaters (or a hand whisk), beat the mascarpone, coffee liquid and golden syrup together until combined, then add to a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle and keep in the fridge until later
- Crush the lotus biscuits until you have fine crumbs
- Once the pies are done, remove from the oven and let cool for a few min before removing from the tray and leaving to cool on a wire rack
- Once the pies are cool, pipe the coffee mascarpone cream on top and sprinkle with the lotus biscuit crumbs
