welcome deronda here with foods 101 thanksgiving day is right around the corner and i'm giving
you heads up on how to make a homemade pumpkin pie don't let this intimidate you very simple
and easy to do the ingredients you're going to need is one sheet of refrigerated pie pastry 2 3
cups of packed light brown sugar 1 15 ounce can of 100 pure pumpkin make sure you get the 100
pure pumpkin two eggs at room temperature one pint of heavy whipping cream or two cups for the spices
i'm using one teaspoon of ground cinnamon one half teaspoon of ground ginger one half teaspoon of
allspice or pumpkin spice 1 8 teaspoon of ground clove 1 8 teaspoon of cardamom which is optional
but i love the way it tastes in this pumpkin pie one tablespoon of maple syrup and an additional 1
4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon let me show you how simple this is to get together i'm baking my pie
in a 9 inch glass pie dish but any pie pan will do remove your pie dough from its package we're
going to begin to unroll it be gentle with it you don't want to tear it but to tell you the truth
this pie dough is pretty durable we're going to come all the way over to the side of our
pie dish gently we're going to work it down into the bottom because you don't want any air pockets
between your pie pastry and your pie pan i'm fluting the edge of my pie crust you just use
your index finger pull back take your thumb and pull forward and you get this lovely little design
now if you're not comfortable doing that take a fork you can just smash along the edge like this
i'm going to continue fluting the edge perfect sit this off to the side while we make our pie
filling in a large bowl add your two eggs give them a slight whiskey you want to break
up those egg yolks that looks great add sugar dash it down in there along with our pumpkin
puree you're gonna add that whole 15 ounce can of pumpkin puree along with one
cup this is gonna make this pumpkin pie so rich and decadent no one will believe you made it and 1
4 cup with a whisk start working these ingredients until they're well blended don't forget to add
all your lovely spices all at once whisk this around until it's well blended at this point you
want your oven preheated to 375 degrees fahrenheit it doesn't take long to whisk these ingredients
all together that looks awesome this is ready for its pie shell i'm adding my pie crust to a
baking sheet that way it makes it a lot easier to transport to the countertop to the oven and out of
the oven back to the countertop add your pumpkin pie filling all at once love using a spatula
because you want to make sure you get it all out of your bowl give it a little tap to get any air
bubbles out be really careful when you do this because you don't want it going over the sides
of your pastry off to that preheated oven on the middle rack for the next 50 to 60 minutes or until
a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean use your timer and no peeking while the
pie bakes i'm going to add my remaining whipping cream into a two cup measuring cup using my whisk
attachment on my hand beater i'm going to beat the whipping cream until it turns in to whip cream
after one minute it's looking like this it's getting a little thicker but we need to beat it
just a little bit more and be sure we don't want to over mix it or it's going to turn to butter
after an additional 30 seconds you've got whipped cream add your cinnamon with your maple syrup
oh yeah blend it until it's well blended and that's perfect look how nice and rich that is
cover this and refrigerate until we're ready to serve our pie
50 minutes are up on our pumpkin pie let's check the center for doneness with a toothpick
pop it in it comes out with a little batter on it and i'm gonna bake it for another five
minutes back in the oven for an additional five minutes after an additional five minutes the pie
has completed baking i'll just show you i'll stick in that toothpick again see how nice and
clean that toothpick comes out that's a perfectly baked pumpkin pie remove it from its cookie sheet
and let it cool down for two hours before slicing into it
i've got a slice that i'm adding oh yeah i haven't forgotten it that homemade cool whip
let's dig in mmm nice and creamy it's still gonna be a little warm wow oh it's still warm
