My Mom's Requested New England Pumpkin Pie image

Pumpkin and squash for "pumpkin" pie both rely on spices to perk them up.This recipe is quite flavorful,"tried and true",and has been handed down thru the family for years...always served at Thanksgiving,Christmas and even thru the winter.And too,the recipe shared,countless times!I have a friend who dislikes pumpkin pie,but...

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 c sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 1 /2 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp ginger
3 Tbsp dark molasses-
1 can(s) 16oz size-of plain pumpkin(not pumpkin pie filling)
1 egg
3 Tbsp cornstarch
2 c milk
1 unbaked,bottom only, pie crust
fresh whipped cream for serving
FRESH WHIPPED CREAM
1 pt whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla
3 Tbsp sugar...or less to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Put unbaked crust into a pie plate.Preheat oven to 425. Lower it to 375 after 20 mins.
  • 2. Put pumpkin in a mixing bowl.Add to it and blend well,the sugar,salt,spices and molasses.
  • 3. Take 1/2c milk and whisk in the cornstarch till smooth so there are no lumps.Stir it into the pumpkin.Beat an egg and add it to the pumpkin,along with the remaining 1 1/2c milk.Stir all and then pour into the crust. It will be filled right to the top,so transfer it to the oven carefully!
  • 4. Bake for 55-60 min's,until the center does not "shimmy or jiggle"...and is set. Sometimes I lower the oven to 350 if it is not set,but the crust seems to be getting too browned-I've even thrown a piece of aluminum foil loosely atop,if need be.But this is only toward the end of the baking time...maybe the last 10 mins.Watch and see. When done,put on a rack to cool.
  • 5. Whipping Cream-About an hour before you are serving the pie,beat the whipping cream and vanilla(cold beaters helps!)stirring all often,including the side bowl scrapings...and until peaks form.It happens quick.Slowly fold in the sugar last when it is done.It can turn to butter quickly once it is ready,or if overbeaten,so be careful.But it's heavenly!My family,even adults(!!)still race to licks these beaters!!
  • 6. Please enjoy in the company of family and friends!!

This pie is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the filling next time.

I'm not a big fan of pumpkin pie, but this recipe is pretty good. The crust is flaky and the filling is creamy.

This pie is the perfect way to use up leftover pumpkin puree. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.

I love that this recipe uses fresh pumpkin. It gives the pie a much better flavor than canned pumpkin.

I made this pie for Thanksgiving and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved it. The only thing I would change is to add a little more ginger to the filling.

This is the best pumpkin pie I've ever had! The filling is smooth and creamy, with just the right amount of spice. The crust is flaky and buttery. I will definitely be making this pie again and again.
