2. Preparing 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 quickly work it in with your fingertips or with a food processor until you obtain a sandy texture.
3. Adding the egg and water: Incorporate the beaten egg and gradually add the cold water until the dough begins to form. Do not overwork the dough to avoid it becoming sticky.
4. 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.
5. Rolling out the dough: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Roll out the dough on a floured work surface (using gluten-free flour) and place it in a tart pan. Prick the base with a fork and pre-bake the crust for 10 minutes.
6. Instructions for the filling:
7. To prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, eggs, coconut milk, and spices (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves). Dissolve the cornstarch in a little coconut milk or water and add it to the filling. Whisk well until smooth.
8. Filling and baking: Pour the pumpkin filling into the pre-baked crust. Smooth the surface and bake for approximately 45 to 50 minutes, or until the center of the pie is just set.
9. Cooling: Allow the pie to 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.
