Pumpkin Pie, an Unmissable Autumn Star at Duc de Lorraine
Updated: Oct 8
When the leaves change color and the air cools, there's one pastry that perfectly embodies the spirit of autumn: pumpkin pie. At Duc de Lorraine, we've restored to this North American classic all the finesse and expertise of our French pastry-making tradition.
A carefully crafted recipe
Our pumpkin pie combines a smooth pumpkin puree with a delicate blend of warm spices cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves to create a rich, flavorful filling that's neither too sweet nor too spicy. It all sits atop a homemade, crisp, buttery shortcrust pastry, baked fresh daily in our kitchens.
The perfect balance between tradition and refinement
Unlike mass-produced versions that are often too sweet or dense, our pumpkin pie focuses on texture: a silky-smooth, melt-in-your-mouth filling that pairs perfectly with a thin, golden-brown crust. It's a comforting dessert, but crafted with the precision you'd expect from an artisanal pastry shop.
Why pumpkins in the fall?
Pumpkin is harvested in late summer and early autumn, making it a natural ingredient associated with this season. Rich in beta-carotene and fiber, it also adds significant nutritional value to this delicious dessert—one more excuse to enjoy it guilt-free.
A must-have for your autumn tables
Whether it's for Thanksgiving, a family dinner, or simply to treat yourself on a rainy Sunday, our pumpkin pie is the perfect dessert to share. It's delicious on its own or with a dollop of homemade whipped cream.
