Ingredients
Scale
- 1 9-inch pie crust
- 2 cups cooked pumpkin (or 1 15-oz. can)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 3 eggs, whisked
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 F. Roll out the crust and put in the pie plate, prick it a few times gently with a fork. Line with aluminum foil or parchment paper and add pie weights or dried beans. Bake the crust for 12-15 minutes, until edges start to brown.
- While the crust is baking, heat the pumpkin, sugars, salt and spices in a saucepan over medium heat until the mixture smells intoxicating and “plops” when you stop stirring it.
- Put the puree into a blender with the milk and vanilla and blend the hell out of it until it is completely smooth. Pour it back into the saucepan and heat it over medium low heat, taking care not to boil it.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth and frothy, then, while whisking, add in a little of the hot pumpkin mixture. Repeat a couple times, then whisk the eggs back into the hot pumpkin mixture.
- Pull the pie crust out of the oven and reduce the heat to 375 F. Remove the pie weights and foil from the hot baked crust and pour the hot filling into it. Bake the pie for 25 minutes, then turn and bake for another 25 – 35 minutes or until the pie is set but still just slightly jiggly in the middle and has little cracks around the edges.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. If you make it ahead of time (up to 2 days ahead), cover and refrigerate until serving time.
