Categories     Dessert     Bake     Thanksgiving     Pumpkin     Fall     Winter     Cinnamon     Sour Cream     Gourmet     Kidney Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

All-butter pastry dough
1 1/2 cups sour cream (not reduced-fat)
1 1/2 cups canned solid-pack pumpkin (13 oz)
3 large eggs, separated
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
Accompaniment: lightly sweetened whipped cream
Special Equipment
pie weights or raw rice; an instant-read thermometer

Steps:

  • Roll out pastry dough on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 13-inch round and fit into a 9-inch glass or metal pie plate. Trim excess dough, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang, then fold overhang under pastry and press against rim of pie plate to reinforce edge. Decoratively crimp edge and chill shell until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • While shell chills, put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Lightly prick bottom and side of chilled pie shell all over with a fork. Line shell with foil and fill with pie weights. Bake until pastry is pale golden along rim and set underneath weights, about 20 minutes. Carefully remove foil and weights and bake shell until bottom and side of pastry are pale golden, about 10 minutes more. Cool completely in pie plate on a rack, about 20 minutes. Leave oven on.
  • Make filling:
  • Heat 1 cup sour cream in a double boiler or a large metal bowl set over a large wide pot of boiling water until warm, stirring occasionally.
  • Whisk together pumpkin, yolks, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, and remaining 1/2 cup sour cream in another bowl until combined and whisk into hot sour cream. Cook over simmering water, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until thickened and registers 170°F on thermometer, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat and cool pumpkin mixture in bowl set in a larger bowl of ice water, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.
  • Beat egg whites in another bowl with an electric mixer until they just hold stiff peaks. Fold whites into pumpkin mixture gently but thoroughly.
  • Pour filling into cooled shell, smoothing top, and bake until filling is set and puffed around edge, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool pie to room temperature on a rack, about 2 hours.

Provided by Sandra Lee

Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (9-inch) deep-dish frozen pie crust
4 ounces cream cheese, softened at room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
Pinch salt
1 egg, plus 2 yolks, whites reserved for meringue topping
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 cup milk
2 large reserved egg whites, at room temperature
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Put the frozen pie crust onto a baking sheet.
  • Using a hand mixer beat the cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Add the pumpkin and beat to combine. Add the sugars, salt, egg, egg yolks, spice and mix well. Stir in the milk and beat and until well incorporated and smooth. Pour the mixture into the pie crust and bake until set, about 40 to 50 minutes. Allow the pie to come to room temperature.
  • For Meringue:
  • Using a hand mixer beat the egg whites in a very clean glass or stainless steel bowl on high. When the whites are very foamy, begin to stream in about 1/2 of the sugar. Beat until soft peaks form and stream in remaining sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Beat until stiff peaks form. (When the beaters are lifted out of the bowl peaks should remain standing.)
  • Increase the oven temperature to broil. Using a spatula cover the top of the pie completely with the meringue, making decorative peaks in the meringue. Put the pie back in the oven and broil until the peaks of meringue are golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and serve.

Yield 12-16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

For the crust:
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
For the filling:
1 1/2 cups solid pack pumpkin
3 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, cut into bits and softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon bourbon liqueur or bourbon if desired
For the topping:
2 cups sour cream
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon bourbon liqueur or bourbon, or to taste
16 pecan halves for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the crust:
  • In a bowl combine the cracker crumbs, the pecans, and the sugars, stir in the butter, and press the mixture into the bottom and 1/2 inch up the side of a buttered 9-inch springform pan. Chill the crust for 1 hour.
  • Make the filling:
  • In a bowl whisk together the pumpkin, the egg, the cinnamon, the nutmeg, the ginger, the salt, and the brown sugar. In a large bowl with an electric mixer cream together the cream cheese and the granulated sugar, beat in the cream, the cornstarch, the vanilla, the bourbon liqueur, and the pumpkin mixture, and beat the filling until it is smooth.
  • Pour the filling into the crust, bake the cheesecake in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the center is just set, and let it cool in the pan on a rack for 5 minutes.
  • Make the topping:
  • In a bowl whisk together the sour cream, the sugar, and the bourbon liqueur.
  • Spread the sour cream mixture over the top of the cheesecake and bake the cheesecake for 5 minutes more. Let the cheesecake cool in the pan on a rack and chill it, covered, overnight. Remove the side of the pan and garnish the top of the cheesecake with the pecans.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree. This will give your pie the best flavor. If you don't have fresh pumpkin puree, you can use canned pumpkin puree, but make sure to drain it well before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your pie tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the pie in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the pie bakes evenly.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help to prevent the pie from falling apart.
  • Serve the pie with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream. This will add a delicious finishing touch.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin pie is a classic fall dessert that is easy to make and always a hit. With its creamy pumpkin filling and flaky crust, it's the perfect way to end a Thanksgiving or Christmas meal. So next time you're looking for a delicious and festive dessert, give this pumpkin pie recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
