Ingredients:
For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into cubes
- 3-4 tablespoons ice water
For the filling:
- 2 cups fresh pumpkin puree
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt for the crust.
3. Add the butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Gradually add the ice water to the flour mixture, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together and forms a ball.
5. Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it's about 1/8 inch thick.
6. Place the dough in a 9-inch pie dish and trim the edges.
7. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
8. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the pie crust.
9. Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
10. Let the pie cool completely before serving.
Tips:
- To make fresh pumpkin puree, cut a small pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds. Place the pumpkin halves cut-side down on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for about 45 minutes, or until the flesh is tender. Remove the skin and puree the flesh in a food processor or blender until smooth.
- If you don't have fresh pumpkin, you can use canned pumpkin puree instead.
- For a creamier texture, you can use half-and-half or heavy cream instead of sweetened condensed milk.
- If the edges of your pie crust are browning too quickly, cover them with foil to prevent burning.
Conclusion:
This pumpkin pie recipe is a delicious and easy way to enjoy the flavors of fall. With fresh pumpkin and sweetened condensed milk, it's sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Try it out for your next holiday gathering or just as a sweet treat on a chilly day.
