Classic Sweeter Pumpkin Pie
A classic pumpkin pie recipe ;) I developed this recipe based on Martha Stewart recipe and made a few adjustments to get a sweeter pie!
Ingredients
- 1 tsp of ginger
- 1½ tsp of cinnamon
- ¼ tsp of nutmeg
- ½ tsp of salt
- 1 can of pumpkin purée
- 1 tbsp of cornstarch
- ⅔ cup of brown sugar
- 1 tsp of vanilla
- ½ tbsp of heavy cream
- 1 cup of evaporated milk
- ½ cup of condensed milk
- 3 eggs (1 save it for the egg wash)
Pâte brisée (Following Martha Stewart recipe)
Instructions
- Place the flour, water, and butter in the freezer for 20 minutes. Once they're chilled, put them in a food processor.
- First, add the flour and salt. Then, add the butter, piece by piece.
- Start processing and add water as needed. The dough has to be clumpy, but not sticky.
- Wrap the dough in plastic food wrap and stick it in the fridge for an hour.
- Roll your dough evenly and extend on top of a baking pan. Get rid of the excess dough, trimming around the edges with kitchen scissors. Leave around half an inch of overhang.
- Tuck the overhang under so that it fits the pan exactly. For the traditional pie crust decor, you can press the edges with your fingers. Then, to keep the crust whole, put it in the freezer for 50 minutes and preheat your oven to 375 °F.
- Prepare the egg wash before taking the pie crust out of the freezer. Mix one egg and the heavy cream to put it on top of the edges.
- Brush the pie crust with egg wash. It will give your pie a golden color.
- For blind-baking, cover the crust with foil and press it down. Now, put it in the oven.
- Mix the ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, cornstarch, salt, vanilla, and two eggs in a bowl. Then add evaporated milk, condensed milk, and pumpkin pureé.
- Blend all together with a hand mixer.
- Once it's done and your pie crust is ready, you can add the pumpkin filling.
- Depending on the size of your pan, you can have some pumpkin filling leftovers. I found that baking them in cupcakes molds makes for delicious crustless pumpkin buns ;)
- Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, and it's done!
- Now you can enjoy it with whipped cream or ice cream. Whatever is your favorite!
