Recipe Ingredients

Pre-heat oven to 180 º C. Lightly grease a 23 - 25 cm diameter pie plate.
Process the base ingredients together, to achieve a ball of dough.
Freeze the dough for 15 minutes.
Press ¾ of the pastry into the prepared pie plate, base and sides.
Blend the crème fraiche, fruit mincemeat and orange rind together, and add in the beaten eggs, to achieve a smooth mixture. Pour this into the pastry base.
Grate the remaining frozen pastry directly over the top, and place into the pre-heated oven immediately.
Bake for 40 minutes. Serve warm.

Mascarpone or smooth cottage cheese can used as a substitute for creme fraiche.
