Mummy’s Fast & Easy

Here’s a recipe I made over the festive period that everyone loved.
It was actually an upgraded version of the pumpkin pie I make for Halloween.
But I added this and that and it turned out so good.
What I added was a handful of dried berries and a few more spices.
I think that actually made it taste more Christmassy, if you know what I mean.

Anyway, you’re free to make it anytime of the year.

Here’s what you need.
