Delicious Creamy Pumpkin Pie image

I am definitely not a fan of thick, waxy pumpkin pie like they serve in many restaurants. I love a creamy, custard type pie. This pie may take a bit longer to make than the average, but oh so worth it. I made a pumpkin pie fan out of my niece with this pie...:)) Enjoy! My photos (Recipe adapted from Cook's Illustrated,...

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 c heavy cream
1 c whole milk
3 eggs, plus 2 yolks
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin
1 (15-ounce) can, drained candy yams
3/4 c sugar
1/4 c maple syrup
2 tsp grated fresh ginger
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp salt
1 baked pie shell, still warm

Steps:

  • 1. Adjust the oven rack to the lowest position, place a rimmed baking sheet on the rack, and heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • 2. Whisk cream, milk, eggs, yolks, and vanilla together in medium bowl. Combine pumpkin puree, yams, sugar, maple syrup, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in large saucepan and cook, stirring constantly mashing yams against sides of pot, until thick and shiny, 15-20 minutes. Remove pan from heat and whisk in cream mixture until fully incorporated. Strain mixture through fine-mesh strainer set over medium bowl, using back of ladle or spatula to press solids through strainer. Whisk mixture and transfer to warm prebaked pie shell.
  • 3. Place pie on heated baking sheet in oven and bake pie for 10 minutes. Reduce oven heat to 300 degrees and continue baking until edges of pie are set, 20-35 minutes longer. Instant read thermometer inserted in center should read 175 degrees. Transfer pie to wire rack and cool to room temperature, about 4 hours.

Just made this pie and it turned out great! The crust was a little difficult to work with, but the filling was delicious. I used a store-bought crust to save time, and it worked out just fine.

This pumpkin pie is the best I've ever had! The filling is smooth and creamy, and the spices are perfectly balanced. The crust is also amazing - it's flaky and buttery, and it holds up perfectly to the filling. I will definitely be making this pie ag

I made this pie for Thanksgiving last year and it was a hit! The filling was creamy and flavorful, and the crust was flaky and buttery. I loved that the recipe used real pumpkin puree instead of canned, which gave it a much richer flavor. I also appr
