Minnie is "as sweet as pumpkin pie" and you know Mickey loves to eat it with "the sweetest girl around". So, in their honor, here's our original pumpkin pie recipie we think Minnie would love to bake and Mickey would love to eat.
Ingredients
For the pie crust:
• 175g (1 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 115g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, cold and diced
• 3-4 tablespoons ice-cold water
Alternatively, to save time and make this super easy, use a shop-bought packaged 9 inch pie crust.
For the pumpkin filling:
• 425g (15 oz) canned pumpkin puree, or 2 cups of homemade pumpkin puree
• 200g (1 cup) granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 2 large eggs
• 240ml (1 cup) evaporated milk or the equivalent amount of heavy cream.

Method
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the butter and work it into the flour until you have a mixture that resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Gradually add the water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
(Of course, if you are using a packaged pie crust you won’t need to complete this step.)
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Roll out the pie crust to fit a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish. Transfer the rolled-out crust to the pie dish and crimp the edges decoratively.
3. In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and ground cloves. Beat the eggs and add to the pumpkin mixture. Gradually stir in the evaporated milk, or cream, until the filling is smooth.
4. Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crust and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 180°C (350°F) and continue baking for 40-50 minutes, or until the pie filling is set. Check that the pie is completely cooked by inserting a knife into the centre; it should come out clean.
5. Allow the pumpkin pie to cool completely. For best flavour, refrigerate the pie for a few hours or overnight before serving.
We think Mickey likes pumpkin pie decorated with whipped cream, but Donald prefers his with vanilla ice cream.
