“There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature.”
― Jane Austen

I promised to bake something for a little gathering and so inspired by the season, Halloween and a fellow bloggers blog, I decided to bake a pumpkin-banana pie with a spider web! The same pie I baked for Thanksgiving, just without the spider web. The pie was gone before I remembered to take a picture 🙂

Preheat oven 400 F.

1 unbaked 9 inch pastry shell + 10 small pie shells (optional)

1/2 cup dark brown sugar
2 tbsp. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/8 tsp. cloves
1 tsp. cinnamon
1,5 cup canned pumpkin
2 mashed ripe bananas
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup evaporated milk

Mix the dry ingredients – brown sugar, flour, salt and spices together and add the wet stuff – pumpkin puree, bananas, eggs and evaporated milk. Mix thoroughly. Pour into unbaked pastry shell(s). Set aside.

Spider web

250 g white cream cheese
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg

Mix everything together and use the piping bag to draw the spider web on top of the pie. Not an easy task 🙂

You can easily just make half of this recipe for the spider web. I made double because I plan to make cream cheese stuffed muffins.

Bake at 400 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until tip of knife comes out clean.

Cool it down and then put it in the fridge for at least two hours!

Awesome every time!
