CREAMY PUMPKIN PIE



Creamy Pumpkin Pie image

This is my grandmother's pie recipe and is excellent for fresh pumpkin. I cut my pumpkins and bake them for an hour or so, depending on the size of the pumpkin, and them mash them through an old colander that has a pestle with it. Also passed down from my grandmother. I freeze 4 cups of processed pumpkin so that I always have the exact amount of pumpkin I need for a pie.

OLD-FASHIONED PUMPKIN PIE RECIPE BY TASTY



Old-Fashioned Pumpkin Pie Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: all-purpose flour, cinnamon, kosher salt, shortening, ice water, sugar, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, kosher salt, large eggs, canned pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, whipped cream

Provided by Kiano Moju

Categories     Bakery Goods

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¾ cup shortening, cubed
6 tablespoons ice water
1 cup sugar, plus 2 tablespoons
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, plus a pinch
1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground cloves
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
3 large eggs
15 oz canned pumpkin puree
1 cup evaporated milk, plus 2 tablespoons
whipped cream, or ice cream for serving

Steps:

  • Make the pie dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, and salt. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut shortening into the flour until the shortening breaks down into pea-sized pieces.
  • Add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and stir gentle until the dough starts to come together.
  • Dump the dough onto a work surface lined with 2 large pieces of plastic wrap. Shape dough into a disc and wrap tightly with the plastic wrap. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 425˚F (220˚C)
  • Make the filling: In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the pumpkin and sugar-spice mix and whisk to combine. Slowly whisk in the evaporated milk until incorporated.
  • Once the dough has chilled, lightly flour a clean surface. Roll out the dough to a ¼-inch (6 mm)-thick round. Keep the surface and rolling pin floured as needed so the dough doesn't stick. Transfer the dough to a 9½-inch pie pan (24 cm). Tuck the edges under and crimp. Note: The key to flaky pie crust is to handle it as little and as gently as possible. Handle it only as much as is absolutely necessary to mix, shape, and roll out.
  • Pour the filling into the pie shell.
  • Bake the pie for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350˚F (180˚C) and bake for another 40 minutes, or until the center jiggles slightly.
  • Cool the pie on a wire rack for 2 hours.
  • Slice and serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
  • Enjoy!

CREAMY PUMPKIN PIE



Creamy Pumpkin Pie image

I firmly believe that THIS pumpkin pie recipe will conquer the taste buds of even the most avid pumpkin pie haters! I myself do not care for pumpkin pie, AT ALL. But, the cream cheese makes the pie so light and creamy. I forced myself to give slices away so I wouldn't eat the whole thing. One note, you can make this with pre-made frozen pie dough, or your favorite "from scratch" piecrust recipe. It is suggested that you use two pieces of pie dough, one for the bottom and one to make an extra thick ring around the edge of the piecrust. I wasn't quite sure why, but the extra thickness on the edge of the pie was to probably hold more of the pumpkin filling. When I made this the first time, I could not quite fit the entire filling in the 9" frozen pie shell that I used. I also found that I needed to add about 15 minutes onto the cook time that I listed below, (but I also had something else warming in the oven, so that, I'm sure, is why).

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 cups canned pumpkin
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup half-and-half or 1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
2 pieces pre-made pie dough (or your favorite homemade)
whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer.
  • Add the canned pumpkin and beat until combined.
  • Add the sugar and salt, and beat until combined.
  • Add the eggs, milk or half-and-half, and melted butter, and beat until combined.
  • Finally, add the vanilla, cinnamon, and ginger, and beat until mixed thoroughly.
  • Roll out your pie dough, and place in a 9 inch round pie dish.
  • Take your second piece of pie dough and form a large outer crust ring around the edge of the pie.
  • Crimp edges.
  • Pour the filling into the pie shell.
  • (I found that I had a little too much filling for my shell, so fill to where your comfortable or slip a cookie sheet under the pie when you bake it).
  • Bake for 50 minutes, or until a knife stuck through the center comes out clean.
  • Cool to room temperature.
  • Serve plain or with whipped cream!

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree has a much richer flavor than canned puree. If you have the time, it's worth making your own.
  • Don't overcook the pumpkin: Overcooked pumpkin will make your pie grainy.
  • Use a good quality pie crust: A homemade pie crust will make a big difference in the overall flavor of your pie.
  • Don't overfill the pie crust: If you overfill the pie crust, the filling will spill over and make a mess.
  • Bake the pie until the filling is set: The filling should be set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will help the filling to set properly.
  • Serve the pie with whipped cream or ice cream: This will add a delicious finishing touch to your pie.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin pie is a classic fall dessert that is easy to make and always a hit with family and friends. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and creamy pumpkin pie that everyone will love.
