Success!

Today I cleaned!

I did laundry and I did a tonne of vacuuming.

I also make a chooclate-pumpkin pie and then use the leftover pie dough to make Hamantaschen (sort of). I used equal parts cream cheese and fig-orange jam for the filling. (I made a grand total of five).

The pie:

Into a pre-baked chocolate pie crust (I made mine with 1/4 tsp each cinnamon and cloves, but a couple of those pre-fab chocolate cookie-crumb crusts would work really well - you'll just need two), add a blend of:

2 eggs, beaten
2C pumpkin butter
+
1/4 C chocolate chips, melted (with a little salted butter)
1/2 C plain cream cheese
+
1/2 tsp vanilla
Pinch salt

Bake for 45 minutes at 350F.


Pie is going to be dessert after dinner of chicken, squash, and rice.

I need to run the dryer a little longer, and fold up the clean towels + put the bath mat back in the bathroom.


TTFN,
Ms Syren.

I have not had chocolate pumpkin pie, but it sounds interesting. I like regular pumpkin pie. I'd be willing to try chocolate.

This recipe turned out to be a lot less sweet than I was hoping for. I think it would be good combined with chocolate ice cream or with the addition of an extra 1/2 C of sugar.

Sometimes that happens. There are low-sugar recipes, but also, some people make pumpkin pie less sweet because they do expect it to be served with something sweeter like ice cream or whipped cream. Extra sugar might work. Though in something like pumpkin where the filling needs to set, it may take some fiddling to get the sweetness and texture both right.
