The Perfect Pumpkin Pie Recipe for Halloween
Ingredients:
Pie Crust: 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ cup unsalted butter, 3-4 tablespoons ice water
Pumpkin Filling: 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree, 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon salt
Whipped Cream Topping: 1 cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place the oven rack in the center position.
To make the pie crust, combine the flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Gradually add in the cold butter, using a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly add in the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together.
Shape the dough into a ball and flatten it into a disk. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges and crimp as desired.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, spices, and salt until smooth.
Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crust and smooth out the top.
Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set.
Allow the pie to cool completely before refrigerating for at least 3 hours.
To make the whipped cream topping, beat the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form.
Serve slices of the pumpkin pie with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
Tips and Variations:
For a gluten-free option, use a store-bought gluten-free pie crust or make your own using gluten-free flour.
Add a tablespoon of bourbon or rum to the pumpkin filling for a boozy twist.
Sprinkle some crushed graham crackers or ginger snaps on top of the whipped cream for added texture and flavor.
If you want to make individual servings, use a muffin tin and mini pie crusts instead.
Now that you have the perfect pumpkin pie recipe for Halloween, it's time to get baking! This delicious dessert will surely be a hit at any gathering and will leave everyone wanting more. So, put on your apron and get ready to impress with this mouth-watering treat. Happy Halloween!
