Number Of Ingredients 21

Crust
1 1/3cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
3 tablespoons chilled lard, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons (or more) ice water
Filling
2/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup half and half
2/3 cup whipping cream
2 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
1 cup canned pure pumpkin
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
Mincemeat Ice Cream

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Mix flour, sugar, and salt in processor. Add butter and lard; using on/off turns, process until coarse meal forms. Add 2 tablespoons ice water and process until moist clumps form, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if mixture is dry. Form dough into disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate 1 hour.
  • Roll out dough on floured surface to 12-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter pie dish. Fold overhang under; crimp edges decoratively. Chill 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake crust until edges begin to brown, pressing crust with back of fork if bubbles form, about 15 minutes. Cool slightly. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
  • Meanwhile, for filling:
  • Stir sugar and 2 tablespoons water in medium saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat; boil without stirring until sugar turns dark amber, occasionally swirling pan and brushing down pan sides with wet pastry brush, about 7 minutes (time will vary depending on size of pan). Remove pan from heat. Whisk in butter 1 tablespoon at a time (mixture will bubble). Stir in half and half and cream, stirring until all caramel bits dissolve.
  • Whisk 2 whole eggs and 1 yolk in large bowl to blend. Whisk in pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt. Gradually whisk caramel mixture into pumpkin mixture.
  • Transfer filling to crust. Bake until puffed and set in center, about 50 minutes. Cool pie on rack. Chill until cold. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.) Serve with Mincemeat Ice Cream.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect pie crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. This will result in a flaky, tender crust that is not too tough.
  • When rolling out the dough, be sure to keep it cold. This will help to prevent the gluten from developing, which can make the crust tough.
  • If you don't have time to make your own pie crust, you can use a store-bought one. Just be sure to thaw it completely before using it.
  • For the pumpkin filling, use fresh pumpkin puree for the best flavor. If you're using canned pumpkin puree, be sure to drain it well before using it.
  • Add spices to the pumpkin filling to taste. Some popular spices include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
  • Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to finish baking. This will help to prevent the crust from overcooking.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to develop.

Conclusion:

Mincemeat pumpkin pie is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any other special occasion. With its flaky crust, creamy filling, and warm spices, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give mincemeat pumpkin pie a try.
