ULTIMATE PUMPKIN PIE



Ultimate Pumpkin Pie image

Did you know that the variety of pumpkin used in canned pumpkin purée is very close to sweet winter squashes like butternut and honeynut? Making your own fresh purée from these varieties will give you the best possible pumpkin pie, one that's both ultracreamy and richly flavored. Just don't be tempted to halve the whole squash and bake it still in the skin. Cutting it into cubes allows for the most evaporation and condensation for the best texture and taste. If using a glass or ceramic pie pan, you might want to parbake the crust. Since glass doesn't conduct heat as well as metal, the crust may not cook through if you don't parbake.

Time 3h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds butternut squash (1 small squash), peeled, seeded and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks (about 3 cups), see Tip
1 cup/240 milliliters heavy cream
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
All-purpose flour, for rolling out the dough
Dough for a single 9-inch pie crust
3 large eggs
2/3 cup/132 grams light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice or pinch of ground cloves
1 tablespoon bourbon or dark rum, or use 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

Steps:

  • Place two racks in the oven: one in the lower third and one in the upper third. Place a rimmed baking sheet on the lower oven rack and heat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Line another rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and spread butternut squash on it. Drizzle squash with 2 tablespoons of the heavy cream, sprinkle with granulated sugar and dot the top with butter. Roast on the upper rack, stirring once or twice, until squash is very tender, 40 to 50 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, on a lightly floured surface, roll pie dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch metal pie pan. Fold over any excess dough, crimping the edges. Transfer to the freezer for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours. (This helps the crust hold its shape so the edges don't slump.)
  • When the squash is soft, transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool for at least 10 minutes (and up to a few hours). Raise the oven temperature to 425 degrees.
  • In a food processor or blender, purée the squash with the remaining cream until smooth. Add eggs, brown sugar, spices, bourbon and salt, and pulse to combine. The mixture should be very smooth.
  • Pour mixture into the chilled pie shell. Carefully transfer pie to the hot baking sheet on the bottom rack. Bake for 10 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 300 and continue to bake until the crust is golden and the center jiggles just slightly when shaken, 35 to 45 minutes longer. Transfer pie to a wire cooling rack and allow to cool completely before serving. Pie can be baked up to 24 hours ahead of serving; do not refrigerate before serving.

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!

THE WORLD'S BEST PUMPKIN PIE



The World's Best Pumpkin Pie image

This is the best pumpkin pie ever. I was not a fan of pumpkin pies until I made this for Thanksgiving dinner. Below is a few helpful hints: Serve immediately or refrigerate. You can substitute 1 3/4 tsp for pumpkin spice (The flavor is slightly different as well). Do not overcook - overcooking will make the pie crack in the middle. Try to bake the day you will serve. If you have to bake a day before serving, pop the pie in the oven for 5-10 minutes and it should bring the crust back to life.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree. Fresh pumpkin puree has a much better flavor than canned pumpkin puree. You can make your own pumpkin puree by roasting a pumpkin in the oven and then pureeing it in a food processor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the pie tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Blind-bake the pie crust. Blind-baking the pie crust will prevent it from becoming soggy. To blind-bake the pie crust, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line the pie crust with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake the pie crust for 15 minutes, then remove the parchment paper and pie weights or beans and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. The pie will need to cool completely before serving so that the filling has time to set. Let the pie cool for at least 2 hours before serving.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin pie is a classic fall dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. By following these tips, you can make the best pumpkin pie ever. So next time you're in the mood for a delicious and festive dessert, give this pumpkin pie recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
