Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Combine pumpkin, sugar, and spices. In a mixing bowl, thoroughly blend together the pumpkin, brown sugar, cinnamon, clove, ginger, and salt until evenly combined. Set aside. |
| 2 | Prepare the egg mixture. In another bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks. Add in the milk and melted margarine, stirring until well incorporated with the pumpkin mixture. |
| 3 | Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites. In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the pumpkin mixture until no streaks remain. |
| 4 | Pour into unbaked pie shell. Carefully pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared unbaked pie shell, ensuring it’s evenly distributed. |
| 5 | Bake to perfection. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Bake the pie for 10 minutes at this high temperature, then reduce the heat to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. |
| 6 | Serve and enjoy! Once baked to golden perfection, allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Pair with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat! |
This pumpkin pie is a true crowd-pleaser, perfect for Thanksgiving feasts, weeknight desserts, or any occasion that calls for a sweet and comforting treat. Share the joy of Mrs V’s Pumpkin Pie with your loved ones and create cherished memories around the table! 🍂🥧
