Easy But Tasty Pumpkin Pie That Will Get You In The Autumn Season

Love pumpkin pie but don’t like how long it takes with some recipes? Been on a long search for the perfect pumpkin recipe that is quick and easy? Well, here’s a pumpkin pie recipe that will get you in the autumn season.

The pie can be whipped up in under 5 minutes, it’s outrageously simple, by using heavy cream instead of sweetened condensed milk and can either use canned pumpkin or you make homemade pumpkin puree.

Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup light brown sugar
• 1 can of pure pumpkin puree or 2 cups of homemade pumpkin puree
• 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2tsp ground ginger
• 1/4tsp ground cloves
• 1/4tsp fine sea salt
• Whipped cream, for serving
• 1 9inch single crust homemade pie crust

Instruction

1. Firstly, roll out half of the pie dough so that it’s able to fit in a 9-inch pie dish. To prevent the dough from sticking, simply sprinkle flour on your work surface and rolling pin.
2. Place the rolled-out dough in the pie dish without stretching it, then trim the edges within 1 inch of the dish. Pop it into the fridge while preparing the filling.
3. For the filling, whisk the eggs and both sugars together until smooth, then add in the pumpkin puree, cream vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and salt – whisk everything together until fully blended.
4. When it comes to baking the pie, you first need to preheat the oven to 218C and set aside a large baking sheet.
5. Place the pie dish on your baking sheet and pour the pumpkin filling into the pie dish.
6. Place the pie in the oven for 5 minutes at 218C, then reduce the heat to 190C and continue to bake the pie for 35 to 45 minutes. Place either a toothpick or knife into the pie to know if it’s fully baked – a clean knife = baked pie! Rotate the pie once or twice during the baking process.
7. Once the pie is baked, cool completely on a wire rack for 2-3 hours or until room temperature. Serve or fridge overnight.
8. To serve, cut into 8 wedges and serve alone or topped with whipped cream.
