Introduction
There is nothing more comforting than a slice of warm pumpkin pie during the fall season. And what's even better is when you use real pumpkin and sweetened condensed milk in your recipe. In this article, we will share with you a delicious and easy pumpkin pie recipe that will surely become a new family favorite.
Ingredients
For the pie crust, you will need:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 4-6 tablespoons ice water
For the filling, you will need:
- 1 1/2 cups fresh pumpkin puree
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. To make the pie crust, mix the flour and salt in a large bowl. Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball and flatten it into a disk. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
4. While the dough is chilling, make the pumpkin pie filling. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
5. On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer the dough to the pie dish and trim the edges. Pour the pumpkin filling into the pie crust.
6. Bake the pumpkin pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set and the crust is golden brown. Let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Tips
Here are some tips to help you make the perfect pumpkin pie:
- Use fresh pumpkin puree instead of canned for a more authentic flavor.
- Don't overmix the pie filling or it will become too dense.
- Make sure your pie crust is cold when you bake it to prevent it from shrinking.
- If the edges of your crust are browning too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil.
- Let your pumpkin pie cool completely before slicing to prevent it from falling apart.
