-
Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, mix the gluten-free flour with a pinch of salt. Add the cold butter cut into small pieces, then work it quickly with your fingertips or with a food processor until you obtain a sandy texture.
-
Adding the egg and water: Stir in the beaten egg and gradually add the cold water until the dough begins to form. Do not overwork the dough to prevent it from becoming sticky.
-
Resting the dough: Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
-
Roll out the dough: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Roll out the dough on a floured work surface (with gluten-free flour) and place it in a tart pan. Prick the bottom with a fork and pre-cook the dough for 10 minutes.

Topping Instructions:
-
Prepare the filling: In a bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, eggs, coconut milk and spices (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves). Dilute the starch in a little coconut milk or water and add to the filling. Whisk well to obtain a homogeneous mixture.
-
Filling and baking: Pour the pumpkin filling into the pre-baked dough. Smooth the surface and bake for about 45 to 50 minutes, or until the center of the tart is just set.
-
Cooling: Let the pie cool to room temperature before serving. The filling will firm up as it cools.
Note
Serve the tart with a dollop of whipped cream or coconut cream for an even more indulgent dessert.
