A Perfect Pumpkin Pie Recipe

I love pumpkin pie very much when I was a child, and I also love it very much now, so I always make it at home by myself. This recipe is the most perfect pumpkin pie recipe I have ever used, if you have the same interest with me, you can try it at home, it is easy but wonderful.


Ingredients:
  • 1 9-inch pie crust
  • 3 cups fresh pumpkin puree
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup sucanat
  • 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. ground cloves
  • 1 tsp. allspice
  • 1/2 tsp. ginger
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Method:
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Mix all ingredients together very well in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Pour the mixture into a pie pan that has been lined with your pie crust.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes at 425 degrees F. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F. Continue to cook for 45-60 minutes or until the pie is set in the center. A butter knife inserted into the center of the pie should come out clean.
  5. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
Notes:
  1. This recipe makes enough filling for a deep dish pumpkin pie. If you don't have a deep dish pie pan, you will most likely have some leftover filling. You can use this to make another smaller pie or pour it into muffin tins to make small, crust-less pumpkin "pies."
  2. You can substitute 3-4 tsp. of pumpkin pie spice for the spices listed in the recipe. It will have a slightly different flavor profile, but use whatever is convenient for you.
  3. The filling to this pie will seem very runny when you pour it into the pie shell. Don't worry, though! It will set up while it bakes. Allow it to cool completely for the best texture.
