OTHER RECIPES


Ingredients
 Pumpkin:
  • 1 medium sugar pumpkin (about 3 pounds)
  • Canola oil, for oiling pumpkin
Easy Pie Crust:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for flouring
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup (11 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Filling:
  • One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
Directions
For the pumpkin:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Remove the stem from the pumpkin and scrape out the insides, discarding the seeds. Cut the pumpkin in half and lay the pieces cut-side down on a rimmed baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Rub canola oil all over the skin and bake until fork-tender, about 1 hour. Let cool.

 For the easy pie crust:
While the pumpkin is cooking, make the crust. 
In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. 
Add in the butter and work into the dough with a fork until the mixture is crumbly. 
Stir in just enough cold water (4 to 5 tablespoons) with a fork just until the flour is moistened. 
Divide the dough in half, shape each half into a ball and flatten slightly. 
Wrap one ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate for another use.
Roll out the remaining dough ball on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch round. 
Transfer to a 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. 
Fold the overhangs under and crimp decoratively. 
Pierce the dough all over with a fork. 
Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Line the crust with foil, fill with dried beans or pie weights and bake until the sides are set, about 12 minutes. 
Remove the foil and beans. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.

For the filling:
Scoop out the pulp from the roasted pumpkin and puree in a food processor until smooth (you should have about 4 cups). 
Add the condensed milk, cream, cornstarch, molasses, canola oil, cinnamon, ginger, salt and eggs and combine thoroughly.
Pour the filling into the crust and bake until the filling is set in the center, about 1 hour. 
Transfer the pie to a rack and cool for 30 minutes. 
Serve at room temperature or chilled. Enjoy the Thanksgiving!
Enjoy it !

This is the classic pumpkin pie made from real pumpkin purée, warm spices, and a buttery crust. It’s smooth, custardy, and wonderfully aromatic.

Ingredients

For the Pie Filling

  • 1 can (15 oz / 425 g) pumpkin purée or 2 cups homemade roasted pumpkin purée

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar

  • ¼ cup brown sugar (adds richness)

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

  • ½ tsp ground ginger

  • ¼ tsp ground cloves

  • ¼ tsp nutmeg

  • ¼ tsp allspice (optional)

  • ½ tsp salt

Option 1: Store-Bought Crust

Option 2: Homemade Buttery Pie Crust

  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ½ tsp sugar

  • 8 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed

  • 3–4 tbsp ice water

Instructions

1. Make the Pie Crust (If Homemade)

  1. In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, and sugar.

  2. Add cold butter and cut into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.

  3. Sprinkle in ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix just until dough begins to come together.

  4. Form dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 1 hour.

  5. Roll out on a floured surface and transfer to a 9-inch pie dish.

  6. Crimp edges and chill again for 15 minutes to prevent shrinking.

2. Pre-Bake (Optional but Recommended)

This step gives a crisp crust and prevents sogginess.

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Add parchment and pie weights or dried beans.

  3. Bake for 10 minutes, remove weights, and bake 5 minutes more.

  4. Let cool slightly.

3. Prepare the Pumpkin Filling

  1. In a large bowl, whisk pumpkin, granulated sugar, brown sugar, spices, and salt.

  2. Add the eggs and whisk until smooth and well blended.

  3. Gradually whisk in the evaporated milk (or half-and-half).

  4. The mixture should be silky and pourable.

Tip for Ultra-Smooth Filling:
Pass the mixture through a mesh sieve for a restaurant-level texture.

4. Fill and Bake the Pie

  1. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Pour filling into the prepared crust.

  3. Place pie on the middle rack and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until:

    • Edges are set

    • Center jiggles slightly (like soft custard)

Do NOT overbake, or the filling may crack.

5. Cool Completely

  • Allow to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours.

  • The pie will set fully as it cools.

  • Chill for 3–4 hours or overnight for clean slicing.

Serving Suggestions

Toppings

  • Fresh whipped cream

  • A dusting of cinnamon or nutmeg

  • Caramel drizzle

  • Candied pecans

  • Vanilla ice cream

Perfect Pairings

  • Coffee, chai tea, or hot cider

  • Warm biscuits or cornbread on the side (holiday style)

Tips for Best Pumpkin Pie

  • Room-temperature eggs blend more smoothly.

  • Evaporated milk gives classic silky texture, but heavy cream makes it even richer.

  • Brown sugar deepens flavor.

  • If crust browns too fast, wrap edges in foil halfway through baking.

  • Chill overnight for the best texture.

Optional Variations

Maple Pumpkin Pie

Replace granulated sugar with ½ cup maple syrup and reduce milk by 2–3 tablespoons.

Pumpkin Pie with Crunchy Pecan Topping

Sprinkle with a mix of chopped pecans, brown sugar, and a little melted butter halfway through baking.
