Pumpkin Pie
This Pumpkin Pie is not only delicious but also easy to make. The combination of pumpkin puree and warm spices creates a harmonious blend that captures the essence of the season. Below you will find the necessary ingredients and straightforward instructions to craft this delectable dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 unbaked pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, brown sugar, and salt. Mix until smooth.
- Add the spices: ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Stir until well incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and vanilla extract together. Gradually mix the egg mixture into the pumpkin mixture until fully blended.
- Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 40-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving. This allows the texture to firm up and the flavors to develop fully.
- Serve the pie chilled or at room temperature, optionally garnished with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
