Ingredients:
- 2 cups pumpkin puree
- 2 cups milk
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Start by preheating your oven to 450ยฐF (230ยฐC). This ensures that it’s perfectly hot and ready for baking your delicious pie.
-
Mix pumpkin, milk, and eggs: In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, milk, and eggs. Use a whisk or a spoon to blend them together until smooth and well incorporated.
-
Add sugar, spices, and salt: Next, stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Mix everything together until the sugar is fully dissolved and the spices are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. This step is crucial for achieving that irresistible flavor profile.
-
Pour into pie shell: Carefully pour the prepared pumpkin mixture into a pie shell. You can use a store-bought pie crust or make your own from scratch for that extra special touch.
-
Bake: Place the filled pie shell into the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes. Keep an eye on it towards the end of the baking time and test for doneness by inserting a knife into the center. If it comes out clean, your pie is ready!
-
Watch the crust: While your pie is baking, keep an eye on the crust. If it starts to brown too quickly, simply cover the edges with foil to prevent burning. This ensures that every part of your pie comes out perfectly golden brown.
-
Cool: Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely. This step is important for setting the filling and allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Garnish and serve: Just before serving, garnish your Molasses Pumpkin Pie with a dollop of whipped cream for that extra touch of indulgence. Then slice, serve, and enjoy the warm, comforting flavors of this seasonal treat!
