Pumpkin pie with cookie crumbs "Yubileinoe"
10 servings
90 minutes
Pumpkin pie with 'Yubileynoye' cookie crumble is a cozy blend of French pastry with hints of autumn warmth. The delicate, slightly sweet pumpkin filling infused with cinnamon and butter creates a soft, velvety taste. The shortcrust pastry adds structure, while the crumble from 'Yubileynoye' cookies provides a light crunch, making the pie both tender and textured. The history of such a pie traces back to traditional French tarts but here it gains a special homely warmth. It can be served warm with whipped cream or chilled to reveal the richness of flavors. A wonderful option for family tea time or festive dessert that easily wins the hearts of cozy pastry lovers.
1
Preheat the oven to 190–200 degrees.
2
Peel the pumpkin and cut it into cubes, I got 2 cups.
- Pumpkin: 400 g
3
Melt butter in a saucepan, then add chopped pumpkin and simmer until soft, stirring occasionally. During cooking, add sugar and cinnamon.
- Butter: 70 g
- Sugar: 3 tablespoons
- Cinnamon: 1 teaspoon

While the pumpkin is being prepared, let's work on the dough. I sprinkle flour so that the dough doesn't stick; shortcrust pastry is quite unruly and tends to 'crumble'! So, I'm rolling out the dough for a round shape; the mold needs to be greased with butter beforehand. I distribute the dough in the mold so that the edges are 1-1.5 centimeters higher than the future filling.
- Shortcrust pastry: 500 g
- Butter: 70 g
5
After the pumpkin is cooked, let it cool for a bit, then use a blender to make a puree, add an egg, and mix into a homogeneous mass.
- Chicken egg: 1 piece
6
Crush the cookies and add them to the puree. Make sure the puree is not too runny; if it is, you can add more crushed cookies or 1-2 tablespoons of starch.
- Yubileynoye biscuits: 6 pieces
7
Spread the prepared filling (puree) over the dough, noting that the edges of the dough should be higher than the filling!
8
We put the pie in the oven for 30–40 minutes.

I prefer pie with whipped cream; in my case, I bought Dr.Oetker dry whipped cream, mixed it with 150 ml of milk, and whipped it for 3 minutes in a mixer. In my opinion, this is a worthy and tasty combination.
