A little note about pumpkin pies, if you feel like a read!
This season marks the fourth year in a row, but let me take you back to where my pumpkin pie obsession began.
It all started when a guy named Arthur reached out to me, asking if I could make an American pumpkin pie for him. At the time, I was working in finance, itching for a creative culinary challenge. I told him, "I've never made one before—never even tasted a classic American pumpkin pie—but I'll give it my best shot."
I tried four or five recipes I found online, but none of them really hit the mark. They were either too sweet, too oily, too heavy, or called for ingredients that were nearly impossible to source in Malta. Then it dawned on me—we live on an island full of pumpkins! Why was I even bothering with canned pumpkin purée? It just didn’t make sense.
So, I set out to create my own recipe. I had a clear idea of what I wanted, even though I wasn’t sure it would be exactly what Arthur had in mind. After about seven or eight tweaks, I finally nailed it. I felt confident and told Arthur that I was ready—and happy—with the result.
He loved it. He raved about it on Reddit, calling my pumpkin pies amazing, and from there, it just blew up. No one here really knew what sweet pumpkin pie was, and I’ll admit, I got *a lot* of rejection from friends and family when I asked them to give it a try. I'd get awkward pauses, followed by, "A *sweet* pumpkin pie? That’s not a thing, Em."
Well, well, well, my friends, it absolutely *is* a thing—and we were fools not to embrace the bounty of creamy, delicious pumpkins surrounding us at this time of year.
Each year, I tweak the recipe. Just like anything else, change is necessary for growth and improvement.
I never set out to make a "pretty" pie. My pies are rustic, handmade, and unapologetically so. The flaky, buttery dough is rolled out by hand, and we go through hundreds of them. Our pumpkins are sourced from local farmers, meticulously peeled, chopped, and roasted low and slow. The caramelized crust formed during roasting adds depth to the flavor, and the result is a silky, creamy, autumn-inspired pumpkin pie, made just for you.
Meet Pina
A couple of years back, a client sent me the cutest little cartoon along with a photo of her pumpkin pie, and I instantly fell in love with it. The following year, I decided to commission Steffy to create Pina, who has since become our beloved Pumpkin Pie mascot!
You’ll see her all over my website, and one day, ONE DAY, she will be a life-sized mascot!
Pumpkin Spice Syrup
This year, I’m beyond excited to introduce a new product to Pumpkin Pie Season: pumpkin spice syrup.
You can use it to make your lattes at home, drizzle it over pancakes—whatever you choose! A little goes a long way, so they come in 100ml bottles. I think they’d also make a lovely gift.
