Pumpkin Pie
The ultimate Pumpkin Pie recipe is flawless in every aspect, and you can opt to accompany it with an easy homemade caramel pecan topping that elevates it!
Pastry, wonderful pastry! There are few desserts I adore more on this entire planet than pie (besides a great chocolate cake, of course!). I've provided many of my favorite pie recipes, such as my Grandma's Lemon Chiffon Pie and Chocolate Cream Pie.
It's likely that we can all concur that Pumpkin Pie stands out as the most quintessential Thanksgiving dessert. I've experimented with numerous recipes, and I truly appreciate the simplicity and ideal flavor and texture of the classic Libby's pumpkin pie recipe. Countless individuals have tested it and deemed it the ultimate pumpkin pie recipe!
You can enhance it by presenting a slice with a dollop of warm, tasty caramel pecan topping. No pie is more deserving of the title “Queen Bee”!
How to Make Pumpkin Pie from Scratch:
Mix the eggs with the canned pumpkin puree. In another bowl, mix the sugar, cinnamon, salt, ginger, and cloves, then incorporate into the pumpkin mixture.
Incorporate Evaporated Milk: You can replace evaporated milk with cream or half and half.
Pour into an unbaked pie shell and bake at 425 degrees F for 15 minutes to firm the crust, then decrease the temperature to 350 and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until set.
Prepare Caramel Pecan Topping (optional): I enjoy creating an easy Caramel Pecan Topping for visitors to drizzle over their piece of pie, if they prefer. It's prepared in roughly 5 minutes, using a saucepan with brown sugar, whipped cream, corn syrup, butter, pecans, and vanilla extract. The complete recipe is provided in the notes of the printable recipe card.
Expert Advice:
Utilize an uncooked crust: Pumpkin pie needs an uncooked pie shell (Homemade is ideal– check out my detailed photos and video guide, though store-bought is acceptable as well. You will see that we initially bake the pumpkin pie at a high temperature, which helps to firm the pie crust, and then we reduce the baking temperature for the rest of the cooking duration. As a result, there's no need to blind bake (pre-bake the crust) for this simple pumpkin pie recipe.
How to determine when Pumpkin Pie is done: The simplest method to check if a pumpkin pie is finished or completely cooked is to lightly shake the pan while using an oven mitt. If the center is too wobbly, it requires additional time. A slight jiggle in the center is fine, as it will firm up as it cools. Alternatively, it is complete when a sharp knife placed in the center emerges clean.
Ways to prevent cracks in your pumpkin pie: The primary cause of cracks on the surface of a pumpkin pie is excessive baking. To prevent cracking, inspect the pie after 55 minutes and gently shake it, ensuring the filling is firm (a bit soft on the surface but not excessively wobbly). Keep in mind it will keep cooking after you remove it! Additionally, avoid hurrying the cooling process, as it may lead to cracking as well. Let it sit undisturbed at room temperature until it cools completely.
For making Pumpkin Pie with Fresh Pumpkin, utilize sugar pie pumpkin to prepare my simple pumpkin puree recipe, and then incorporate the puree as directed in this pumpkin pie recipe.
Preparations in Advance, Storage, and Freezing Guidelines:
To Prepare in Advance: The complete pumpkin pie recipe can be made from scratch the day prior and kept in the refrigerator, or you can make the pie crust and filling the day before and store them separately in the fridge until you're ready to bake the next day.
To Store: Commercial pumpkin pie can remain at room temperature due to added preservatives, whereas homemade pumpkin pie needs refrigeration if not consumed within 2 hours of being out. Remaining pumpkin pie can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days. Ensure that you let the pumpkin pie cool entirely and then cover it loosely with plastic wrap for storage.
To Freeze: A completely baked pumpkin pie can be frozen for as long as 3 months. Let it cool entirely, then cover it with plastic wrap followed by two layers of aluminum foil. Store in the freezer for as long as 3 months. The pie crust can be frozen for as long as 3 months. Defrost in the refrigerator overnight prior to serving.

Guidance
Place the pumpkin in an enormous pot, cover with water and bring to the bubble. Cover with a top and stew for 15 mins or until delicate. Channel pumpkin; let cool.
Heat broiler to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Carry out the baked good on a delicately floured surface and use it to line a 22cm free lined tart tin. Chill for 15 mins. Line the cake with baking material and baking beans, then, at that point, heat for 15 mins. Eliminate the beans and paper, and cook for a further 10 mins until the base is pale brilliant and biscuity. Eliminate from the stove and permit to cool marginally.
Increment stove to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Drive the cooled pumpkin through a strainer into a huge bowl. In a different bowl, consolidate the sugar, salt, nutmeg and a large portion of the cinnamon. Blend in the beaten eggs, dissolved margarine and milk, then, at that point, add to the pumpkin purée and mix to join.
Fill the tart shell and cook for 10 mins, then lessen the temperature to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Keep on baking for 35-40 mins until the filling has quite recently set.
Pass on to cool, then eliminate the pie from the tin. Blend the leftover cinnamon in with the icing sugar and residue over the pie. Serve chilled. Appreciate it !!!
