How to Make Auntie S Pumpkin Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your chosen pie crust (ginger cookie or shortbread recommended) and press into a 9-inch pie plate.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, whipping cream, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
- Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any spills.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to set properly and enhances the flavors.
- Once cooled, chill for at least 2 hours before serving for optimal taste and texture.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
