Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Adjust an oven rack to the lowest position and preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
-
Prepare Pie Crust: Prepare the pie crust for blind baking by pricking the bottom with a fork. Line the crust with parchment paper and fill it with dried rice or beans. Bake the crust for 15 minutes.
-
Bake Crust Further: Remove the parchment paper from the crust and prick any bubbles with a fork. Bake the shell for an additional 8 to 10 minutes, or until the bottom just begins to color.
-
Brush with Egg White: Once the crust is out of the oven, brush it lightly with egg white while it’s still hot.
-
Prepare Filling: In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, process the pumpkin, dark brown sugar, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt for 1 minute. Transfer the mixture to a 3-quart heavy saucepan.
-
Cook Pumpkin Mixture: Bring the pumpkin mixture to a sputtering simmer over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until thick and shiny, about 5 minutes.
-
Combine with Cream and Milk: As soon as the pie shell comes out of the oven, whisk the heavy cream and milk into the pumpkin mixture and bring it to a bare simmer.
-
Process Eggs: Process the eggs in the food processor until the whites and yolks are mixed, about 5 seconds. Gradually pour the hot pumpkin mixture through the feed tube while still running. Process for an additional 30 seconds.
-
Pour into Pie Shell: Pour the warm filling into the hot pie shell.
-
Bake Pie: Place a crust shield on the completed pie and bake it for about 25 minutes. The filling will be dry-looking and lightly cracked around the edges, but the center will still wiggle when gently shaken.
-
Cool and Serve: Cool the pie on a wire rack until it reaches a warm room temperature. Serve slices with slightly sweetened whipped cream for a delightful treat.
Serving Suggestions:
- Enjoy this $25 Pumpkin Pie as a decadent dessert on its own.
- Pair it with a hot cup of coffee or spiced tea for a cozy evening indulgence.
- Serve it alongside other festive treats during Thanksgiving or Christmas gatherings for a memorable dessert spread.
