How to Make 25 Pumpkin Pie
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Adjust oven rack to the lowest position.
- Prepare your favorite pie crust and blind bake according to package instructions or your preferred method. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove the pie crust from the oven. Carefully remove any parchment paper used for blind baking. Prick any air bubbles in the crust with a fork. Return to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the bottom just begins to lightly brown.
- Remove crust from oven and immediately brush lightly with egg white while still hot.
- In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, combine pumpkin puree (15 oz), granulated sugar (¾ cup), pumpkin pie spice (2 tsp), ground cinnamon (1 tsp), ground ginger (½ tsp), ground cloves (¼ tsp), and salt (¼ tsp). Process for 1 minute until well combined.
- Transfer the pumpkin mixture to a 3-quart heavy saucepan.
- Over medium-high heat, bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly. Cook until thickened and shiny, about 5 minutes.
- As soon as the pie shell comes out of the oven (after step 4), whisk together heavy cream (1 cup) and whole milk (½ cup) in a separate bowl. Pour into the pumpkin mixture and bring to a bare simmer.
- In a food processor, process 2 large eggs for about 5 seconds until the whites and yolks are just combined.
- With the food processor running, slowly pour the hot pumpkin mixture through the feed tube into the processed eggs. Process for 30 seconds.
- Pour the warm filling into the hot pie shell.
- Place a pie crust shield or aluminum foil around the edges of the pie to prevent over-browning.
- Bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. The filling will appear dry-looking and lightly cracked around the edges. The center should wiggle slightly when the pie is gently shaken.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack to room temperature. This allows the filling to set properly.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature with slightly sweetened whipped cream.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
