Pumpkin Pie With Milk Instead Of Evaporated Milk
Thanksgiving is just around the corner and pumpkin pie is a classic dessert that many people look forward to. However, some people may not have evaporated milk on hand or may prefer not to use it in their recipe. Fortunately, it is possible to make a delicious pumpkin pie with regular milk instead of evaporated milk.
Ingredients
Here are the ingredients you will need:
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
- 1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin puree
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and cloves until well combined.
Pour the mixture into the unbaked pie crust.
Bake the pie for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C), then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center of the pie comes out clean.
Let the pie cool completely before serving.
Tips
Here are some tips to help you make the perfect pumpkin pie:
- Make sure your pie crust is properly chilled before adding the filling. This will help prevent it from becoming soggy.
- If you don't have a pie shield, you can cover the edges of the pie crust with strips of aluminum foil to prevent them from burning.
- For a creamier texture, you can use half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk.
- Feel free to adjust the spices to your liking. If you prefer a stronger cinnamon flavor, for example, you can add more cinnamon.
- For a fun twist, you can top your pie with whipped cream or serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Conclusion
Making pumpkin pie with milk instead of evaporated milk is a great option for those who don't have evaporated milk on hand or prefer not to use it in their recipe. With just a few simple ingredients and some basic baking skills, you can create a delicious and satisfying dessert that everyone will love.
