In addition to cooking the pumpkin pie in the air fryer for about 7 minutes, You will also need a pot to heat and cook the squash beforehand.

As an accessory for the pumpkin pie recipe for Halloween, we have used a pie pan suitable for a airfryer (it can be an aluminum one, a rubber one...).

Tips for a good pumpkin pie recipe for Halloween in a airfryer

• Depending on the type of squash you use, it may stick together as it cooks in the pot.you can add a small splash of water so that it does not burn
• It is important to cook the shortcrust pastry alone first so that it cooks from the bottom, and place it well, covering the entire mold and trimming the outside if necessary.
• Let the pumpkin mixture cool down before adding the cream.the sugar and the eggs so that it does not cut
• Times are approximate. I recommend you take a wooden toothpick and prick the pumpkin pie to see if it has curdled
• You can decorate the cake with eyes or other Halloween decorations, even if you melt chocolate you can try to imitate the face of an angry pumpkin
