Perfect Pumpkin Pie
To kick things off, here's a tempting image of the finished masterpiece:
Ingredients
Here's what you'll need to create this heavenly pumpkin pie:
- 1 (9-inch) pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 can (15 oz) pure pumpkin puree
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to whip up your delicious pumpkin pie:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- If you're using a homemade pie crust, roll it out and place it into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges as desired. If using a store-bought crust, just place it in the dish and move on to the next step.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and salt. Stir until well blended.
- Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, gradually mix in the evaporated milk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 35-40 minutes, or until the filling has set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once done, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack. It can be served warm or chilled.
- For extra flair, top your pumpkin pie with freshly whipped cream before serving!
This perfect pumpkin pie is sure to be a hit at any gathering! Its creamy texture and warm spices make it an irresistible treat. Enjoy every slice!
