Kitchen Equipment Required 9-inch (23cm) Pie Pan Rolling Pin Mixing Bowls Hand Mixer or Stand Mixer Measuring Cups and Spoons Pastry Brush Aluminum Foil or Pie Shield Cooking Time Total estimated time: 1 hour 15 minutes (plus chilling time) Recipe: Pumpkin Pie with Spiced Fillings Ingredients 375g (1 1/4 cups) pumpkin puree (canned or homemade) 200g (1 cup) granulated sugar 2 large eggs 240ml (1 cup) heavy cream 5ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract 5g (1 tsp) ground cinnamon 2g (1/2 tsp) ground ginger 1g (1/4 tsp) ground nutmeg 1g (1/4 tsp) ground cloves 1 (9-inch / 23cm) unbaked pie crust Pinch of salt Instructions Step 1: Prepare the Pie Crust If using a homemade crust, roll out the dough on a floured surface and carefully fit it into a 9-inch (23cm) pie pan. Trim and crimp the edges for a decorative touch. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling. Step 2: Preheat the Oven Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). This initial high temperature helps set the crust, preventing it from becoming soggy. Step 3: Make the Spiced Pumpkin Filling In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sugar, spices (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves), and salt. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated. Add the eggs, beating them into the mixture until smooth. Gradually stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract, ensuring a creamy consistency throughout. Step 4: Assemble the Pie Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crust. Use a spatula to smooth out the top. This will ensure even baking across the pie surface. Step 5: Bake the Pie Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake at 220°C (425°F) for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 175°C (350°F) and continue baking for an additional 40-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. If the crust edges are browning too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil or a pie shield. Step 6: Cool and Serve Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving. This cooling period allows the filling to set properly. Once cooled, slice and serve with a dollop of whipped cream if desired. Conclusion Congratulations on crafting this exquisite Pumpkin Pie with Spiced Fillings! Each bite offers a creamy, spiced experience, capturing the essence of autumn in a single dessert. Whether enjoyed as a family treat or shared at festive gatherings, this pumpkin pie is a testament to the simple joys of seasonal baking. Feel free to experiment with different spices to suit your taste, and enjoy the comforting warmth this delightful pie brings to your table.
