Directions

  • 1 Heat oven to 425°F. In medium bowl, mix flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the oil with fork until all flour is moistened. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all water is absorbed. Shape pastry into a ball. Press in bottom and up side of 9-inch glass pie plate.
  • 2 In large bowl, beat eggs slightly with wire whisk or hand beater. Beat in 1/2 cup sugar, the cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, ginger, cloves, pumpkin and milk.
  • 3 To prevent spilling, place pastry-lined pie plate on oven rack before adding filling. Carefully pour pumpkin filling into pie plate. Bake 15 minutes.
  • 4 Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Bake about 45 minutes longer or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Place pie on cooling rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours.
  • 5 In chilled medium bowl, beat whipping cream and 2 tablespoons sugar with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Serve pie with whipped cream. Store in refrigerator.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

There's no last minute fuss and muss when you freeze spoonfuls of whipped cream to use later. Just drop whipped cream by 8 spoonfuls onto waxed paper-lined cookie sheet. Freeze uncovered at least 2 hours. Then, place frozen mounds of whipped cream in a freezer container. Cover tightly and freeze no longer than 2 months.

Lighten up! For 2 grams of fat and 120 calories per serving, omit the pastry and whipped cream. Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 9-inch glass pie plate with cooking spray. Use evaporated fat-free milk. Make filling as directed; pour into pie plate. Bake about 45 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.

Read the canned pumpkin label carefully to ensure you’re not buying canned pumpkin pie mix, which already contains seasonings.

Short on time? Use whipped topping instead of making the sweetened whipped cream.

Perfect for the first time pumpkin pie maker..The crust was easy to make..I used 2 tsp of Pumpkin Pie Spice in lieu of the spices separate and I did use fresh pumpkin that I baked myself...I made sure to rid the pumpkin of all the excess juice after baking..My family really liked it...Super easy for those who don't bake..

This pie turned out wonderful. The only problems that i had were there wasn't enough crust came up just a little short and there was to much filling. My whole family loved it. Will be making again.

I am not sure I care for the crust much. A traditional crust would taste much better. The pumpkin filling was very delicious and easy to make.
