Ingredients You Will Need
The ingredients needed for this recipe are fairly simple. You will need 2 cups of pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup of white sugar, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves, 2 eggs, 1 can of condensed milk, 1/2 cup of melted butter, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1 9-inch unbaked deep-dish pie crust. In addition to these ingredients, you will need a blender or food processor, a whisk and a large mixing bowl.
Instructions
The first step is to preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Next, you will need to mix together the pumpkin puree, both sugars, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and salt in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, condensed milk and butter until combined. Once the wet ingredients are combined, pour them into the dry ingredients and mix until everything is well blended. Finally, pour the mixture into the unbaked pie crust and bake for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and continue baking for 40-50 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Tips & Tricks
One of the best tips when making this recipe is to make sure that your ingredients are all at room temperature. This will help the ingredients mix together more smoothly and will result in a creamier and more flavorful pie. Another tip is to make sure that the pie crust is firmly pressed into the baking dish before adding the pumpkin filling. This will ensure that the crust does not become soggy during baking.
Variations
If you are looking to add a little extra flavor to your pumpkin pie, there are several variations that you can try. For a spicier version, you can increase the amount of cinnamon, ginger and cloves. You can also add 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg to the mix. For a more indulgent version, try adding 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts to your pumpkin filling. Another variation to try is to add a layer of cream cheese and/or a layer of chocolate chips.
Serving Suggestions
Once your pie is done baking, let it cool completely before serving. This will help keep the filling from becoming runny. Serve this pie with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of caramel sauce. You can also serve your pumpkin pie with a scoop of ice cream or a slice of cheddar cheese. For an added touch, garnish your slice of pie with a few pumpkin seeds or a sprig of mint.
Storing the Pie
This pumpkin pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. You can also freeze the pie for up to two months. To freeze, let the pie cool completely, then wrap it in several layers of plastic wrap and store it in the freezer. When you are ready to serve, let the pie thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
