Famous Pumpkin Pie
8 servings
70 minutes
The famous pumpkin pie is a true embodiment of American autumn, a symbol of coziness and home warmth. Its history dates back to colonial times when settlers adapted local ingredients into their traditional recipes. The tender pumpkin puree infused with the aroma of cinnamon, ginger, and cloves creates a stunningly balanced flavor – sweet, spicy, and velvety at the same time. The creamy texture of the filling perfectly complements the crispy crust, while whipped cream adds an airy lightness. This pie is invariably present on Thanksgiving tables but can be made any time of year to enjoy a cozy and delightful atmosphere. Serve chilled or slightly warmed – either way it will be a highlight of your dessert.
1
Preheat the oven to 220 °C.
2
In a small bowl, mix salt, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger.
- Salt: 0.5 teaspoon
- Sugar: 0.8 glass
- Ground cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
- Ground cloves: 0.5 teaspoon
- Ground ginger: 0.5 teaspoon
3
In a large bowl, beat the eggs.
- Chicken egg (large): 2 pieces
4
Mix the pumpkin and the sugar-spice mixture.
- Pumpkin puree: 1 kg
- Sugar: 0.8 glass
- Ground cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
- Ground cloves: 0.5 teaspoon
- Ground ginger: 0.5 teaspoon
5
Without stopping to stir, gradually pour in the condensed milk.
- Baked (scalded) milk: 1 l
6
Pour the mixture into the cake base.
7
Bake at 220 ° for 15 minutes.
8
Reduce the temperature to 180 °.
9
Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center of the pie comes out dry and clean.
10
Cool on a rack for 2 hours.
11
Serve immediately or place in the refrigerator.
12
Before serving, decorate with whipped cream for the best result.
- Whipped cream: to taste
13
Do not overbake in the oven. This may cause the pie to crack in the middle.
14
Try to serve the pie on the day it was baked. If you prepare the pie in advance, the crust may become soggy. If you need to bake the pie a day before serving, put it in the oven for 5-10 minutes before serving; this should revive the crust!
