SPICY PUMPKIN PIE II
This is for all the people who don't like pumpkin pie. I don't like pumpkin pie either, but this one's different. It's so spicy!! It has become a much anticipated family custom. It's best to make your own pie shell instead of using the ready made kind because they aren't deep enough. This recipe is easily doubled.

Steps:
- For the crust: Put a small baking sheet on a rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 375 degrees F. Process the flour, butter, granulated and confectioners' sugars and salt in a food processor until the mixture resembles wet crumbs and holds together when squeezed in your palm, about 2 minutes (this takes longer than seems necessary, but be patient). Divide the mixture evenly between two 5-inch aluminum pie pans or pie tins. Press the dough very firmly into the bottoms and up the sides, making sure to press it into the corners very well. Smooth and flatten the tops with your fingers or the back of a small spoon.
- Bake the crusts on the hot baking sheet until the bottom and sides are golden brown (probably more in some spots than in others), about 12 minutes. Let cool completely on a cooling rack.
- For the filling: Whisk together the eggs, cream, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and allspice in a medium bowl. Whisk in the pumpkin puree and then the melted butter.
- Put the filling in the pie shells. Bake until puffed and the centers still look slightly wet but not loose, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before serving.
- For the lightly sweetened whipped cream: Put the cream, sugar and vanilla in a well-chilled bowl or in a bowl over ice. Beat with a whisk by hand or an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 1 minute.
- Dollop each pie with some whipped cream and serve.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh pumpkin puree. You can make your own puree by roasting a pumpkin and then scooping out the flesh, or you can buy canned pumpkin puree.
- Be sure to drain the pumpkin puree well before using it in the pie filling. This will help to prevent the pie from being too watery.
- Use a combination of spices to flavor the pie filling. Common spices include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
- Don't overmix the pie dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
- Chill the pie dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
- Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes. This will help to set the crust.
- Then, reduce the oven temperature and continue to bake the pie until the filling is set.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to firm up.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin pie is a classic fall dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy, spiced filling and flaky crust, pumpkin pie is the perfect way to end a Thanksgiving meal or any special occasion. Follow these tips to make the best pumpkin pie possible.
