Pumpkin Pie with Marshmallow Topping

Step 1

In the bowl of a food process combine flour, powdered sugar and salt, pulse to combine. Then slowly add butter pulsing until a coarse meal forms.

Step 2

In a small bowl whisk together the egg yolk and ice water and then slowly add this mixture to the food processor pulsing until dough ball forms. (reserve egg white)

Step 3

Turn dough out onto a floured surface, flatten into a disk and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Step 4

Preheat heat oven to 450F (232C)

Step 5

Once the dough is chilled, roll out to 1/8” thickness and fit into a 9 " pie tin. Trim edges of dough around rim and then fold up to create a double crust.

Step 6

Press crust together to form an even level around the rim. Then use the Pastry Wheel Decorator to run over the pie crust to form a decorative edge. Then place the pie shell in the freezer to set up while you prep the filling.

Step 7

In a large bowl combine the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Whisk until smooth. Then add the eggs and sweetened condensed milk.

Step 8

Remove pie from freezer and place on a baking sheet. Pour filling into shell. Lightly brush pie crust with the egg white to seal crust and ultimately form a golden, shiny crust.

Step 9

Bake at 450F (232C) for 15 mins. Then reduce temperature to 350F and bake for another 35-40 mins until pie is set. Place a pie shield, or strip of aluminum foil, around the crust to prevent over-browning.

Step 10

Allow pie to cool completely and then make the marshmallow topping.

Step 11

Place 2 egg whites, corn syrup, salt, vanilla, and cream of tartar in a bowl and whip on high until stiff peaks form and mixture is glossy. Slowly add sugar.

Step 12

Transfer marshmallow to a pastry bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe out decorative mounds or swirls in the center of the pie.

Step 13

If you are not serving right away, the pie can be refrigerated, uncovered, until ready to serve. Then proceed with the last step of broiling.

Step 14

Place pie under the broiler for 1-2 mins until marshmallow topping turns golden brown.

Step 15

BE CAREFUL! Marshmallow burns quickly so please keep an eye on it while broiling, do not walk away! Enjoy! xx
