Steps:
- In large bowl, blend pumpkin pie filling, cream cheese and spices. Stir in whipped cream. Pour mixture into graham cracker crust. Invert pie crust packaging lid and crimp the foil to seal lid. Chill in fridge at least 4 hours.
Tips:
- Choose the right pumpkin: Use a sugar pumpkin or a pie pumpkin for the best flavor and texture. These pumpkins are smaller and sweeter than other varieties.
- Roast the pumpkin: Roasting the pumpkin brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. To roast a pumpkin, cut it in half, scoop out the seeds, and place it cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-60 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender.
- Use a food processor or blender to puree the pumpkin: This will give you a smooth and creamy pumpkin puree. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can mash the pumpkin with a potato masher.
- Add spices for flavor: Pumpkin pie spice is a classic blend of spices that includes cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice. You can also add other spices to your pie, such as cardamom, mace, or star anise.
- Don't overcook the pie: Overcooked pumpkin pie will be dry and crumbly. Bake the pie just until the center is set and the edges are golden brown.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin pie is a delicious and classic fall dessert. With its creamy texture and sweet, spiced flavor, it's the perfect way to end a Thanksgiving or Christmas meal. There are many different ways to make pumpkin pie, so you can find a recipe that suits your taste. Whether you like a traditional pumpkin pie or something more unique, there's a recipe out there for you. So grab a pumpkin and get baking!
