Perfect Pumpkin Pie image

We know-calling a recipe "perfect" is a pretty strong statement to make. But with just one bite of this pumpkin pie, you'll see what we mean. Because when you combine a flaky Pillsbury™ pie crust with a creamy homemade pumpkin filling, you get a pie that tastes like it's made entirely from scratch, but comes together with a fraction of the effort. "Perfect" is right!

PERFECT PUMPKIN PIE



Perfect Pumpkin Pie image

For such a seemingly simple dessert, pumpkin pie can be tricky to make. This recipe promises a tender, flaky crust and gently spiced pumpkin filling that won't crack as it cools.

Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Desserts

Time 2h15m

Yield 8 to 10 (Makes one 9-inch deep-dish pie)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (9-inch) Homemade Pie Crust or deep-dish frozen pie crust shell (thawed)
1 (15-oz) can pure pumpkin (about 1¾ cups)
1 large egg
3 large eggs yolks
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup light brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
1¼ cups evaporated milk (you'll need one 12-oz can but you won't use all of it)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and set an oven rack in the middle position.
  • If using a homemade crust: Cover the chilled crust with a piece of parchment paper. Fill the crust about three-quarters full with dried beans or pie weights. Bake for 20 minutes. Take the crust out of the oven; remove the parchment paper and beans/pie weights and tent the edges with a few strips of foil folded in half lengthwise (this will protect the edges from getting too dark). Bake for another 20 minutes, until the dough is dry and golden. Don't worry if the bottom puffs up; just press it down gently with a flat spatula, such as a pancake turner, taking care not to puncture it. Remove the foil but don't throw it away; you may need it again.
  • If using a frozen crust: Follow the instructions for blind-baking on the package.
  • After blind-baking the crust, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F.
  • Make the Pumpkin Pie Filling: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin, egg, egg yolks, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, pepper, and evaporated milk. Whisk until smooth, then pour the filling into the pre-baked crust.
  • Bake the pie for 50 to 60 minutes, until the filling is just set. It should look dry around the edges, but the center should jiggle just slightly if you nudge the pan. Keep a close eye on the pie as it bakes; if ever the crust looks like it's browning too quickly, tent the edges again with the foil strips. Let the pie cool on a rack (leave it on the baking sheet) to room temperature, a few hours. Slice or refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Make Ahead: Pumpkin pie can be made one day ahead of time and refrigerated.
  • Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The dough can be made ahead, wrapped in plastic, and refrigerated for up to 2 days, or frozen for up to 1 month. If you freeze it, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator. The pie can be frozen after baking for up to 1 month. After it is completely cooled, double-wrap it securely with aluminum foil or plastic freezer wrap, or place it in heavy-duty freezer bag. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1 Butter Pie Crust dough disk
1 (15-ounce) can pure pumpkin
3/4 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pinch of ground cloves
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream

Steps:

  • Position rack in bottom third of oven; preheat to 375°F. Spray 9-inch-diameter deep-dish glass pie dish with nonstick spray. Roll out dough on floured surface to 13-inch round. Transfer to prepared dish. Fold edges under and crimp, forming high border. Line crust with foil; fill with dried beans. Bake 15 minutes. Remove foil and beans. Bake until edges are light golden, pressing crust with back of fork if bubbles form, about 7 minutes. Cool 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Reposition oven rack to center.
  • Puree pumpkin in processor. Mix in next 6 ingredients. Add eggs 1 at a time, pulsing after each addition. Gradually add cream, processing just until blended. Process 5 seconds longer.
  • Pour filling into warm crust. Bake until edges are puffed and center is set, about 1 hour. Cool completely on rack. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.

Tips:

  • For the perfect flaky crust, use a food processor to combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Then, add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water one tablespoon at a time, pulsing until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  • To prevent the crust from shrinking, trim the edges of the dough to 1 inch beyond the edge of the pie plate. Fold the edges under and crimp to seal.
  • To keep the filling from bubbling over, place a baking sheet on the rack below the pie before baking.
  • For a perfectly smooth filling, purée the pumpkin in a food processor or blender until it is completely smooth.
  • To prevent the filling from cracking, let the pie cool completely before slicing.
  • For the best flavor, serve the pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin pie is a classic fall dessert that is easy to make and always a hit with family and friends. With a flaky crust and a creamy, flavorful filling, this pie is sure to be a favorite. So next time you're looking for a delicious and festive dessert, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
