Pumpkin pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for Thanksgiving or any other occasion. It is made with a creamy pumpkin filling, a flaky pie crust, and a dollop of whipped cream.
Here is a simple recipe for pumpkin pie:
- 1 (9-inch) pie crust
- 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Whipped cream, for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Beat until smooth.
- Pour filling into prepared pie crust.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for an additional 45 minutes, or until filling is set.
- Let cool completely before serving.
- Garnish with whipped cream, if desired.
Here are some tips for making pumpkin pie:
- Use a good quality pie crust. A flaky crust will make your pie even more delicious.
- Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing can make the pie tough.
- Bake the pie until the filling is set. An underbaked pie will be runny.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help the filling set and prevent it from getting runny.
- Garnish with whipped cream, if desired.
Pumpkin pie is a delicious and easy dessert that is perfect for any occasion. Enjoy!
