In our CSA box last week, we got a pie pumpkin! A pie pumpkin is sweeter than regular pumpkins, which is why it is great for cooking and for making pumpkin pie. So that's exactly what I did! It was the first real pie I've ever really made successfully, and it was delicious! Vivek and I don't exactly like those store bought pie crusts because then we just taste too much bland crust and not enough filling. So I made my own graham cracker crust that only covered the bottom of the pie pan. We definitely liked it better that way!
Recipe for Pumpkin Pie
INGREDIENTS
3/4 pint vanilla ice cream, melted and warm
1 egg
1 cup pumpkin puree (I boiled the pumpkin until soft, scooped out the flesh, then pureed it)
1/4 cup white sugar
pinch salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 unbaked pie crust
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the egg. Stir in the pumpkin puree, sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. Mix in the melted ice cream until smooth. Pour the filling into the pie crust.
3. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set. Serve with whipped cream on top!
Wow, Krishna! This pumpkin pie looks delicious! And the recipe sounds so yummy with the ice cream ingredient! We'll have to try this out this season! I love your recipe blog with the pictures. You have definitely inspired me to organize my recipes this way for long-term keeping as I'm noticing some recipe websites are getting stricter about sharing recipes without a subscription. Hopefully, I can start a blog soon as well when I can free up some more time! It will be a great way to share successful recipes! Awesome job!!
