๐ Total Time: 2 hours and 50 minutes
๐ฅง Servings: 8 slices
Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups pumpkin mush
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon clove
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1 pie shell
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 450ยฐF (230ยฐC). This ensures your oven is ready for baking the delicious pumpkin pie.
-
Prepare Filling: In a large non-metal bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and brown sugar until well combined and slightly frothy.
-
Add Pumpkin and Spices: Incorporate the pumpkin mush into the egg mixture, stirring until smooth. Then add in the cinnamon, ginger, clove, and salt, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
-
Mix in Evaporated Milk: Gradually pour in the evaporated milk, stirring continuously until the filling is creamy and well blended.
-
Fill Pie Shell: Pour the prepared pumpkin filling into the unbaked pie shell, spreading it evenly to ensure a uniform texture.
-
Bake: Place the filled pie shell in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes at 450ยฐF (230ยฐC). After 10 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) and continue baking for another 50 minutes, or until the pie is set and the crust is golden brown.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the pumpkin pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the pie to set properly and enhances its flavors.
Pumpkin Mush Preparation:
-
Prepare Pumpkin: Start by preheating your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Cut the pumpkin in half and remove the seeds with a spoon.
-
Bake Pumpkin: Prick the pumpkin halves with a fork and place them cut-side up on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 50 minutes, or until the pumpkin is very soft and tender.
-
Scoop Out Flesh: Once baked, allow the pumpkin to cool slightly before scooping out the flesh from the skin. Discard the skin and transfer the pumpkin flesh to a bowl.
-
Mash or Puree: Mash the cooked pumpkin flesh using a potato masher or puree it in a blender or food processor until smooth. This pumpkin mush can then be used in various recipes, including the pumpkin pie filling.
-
Yield: This recipe yields approximately 4 cups of pumpkin mush, providing you with ample pumpkin goodness for multiple baking adventures!
