How to Make Pumpkin Pie

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit
Pumpkin pie is not just for Thanksgiving! It is for any occasion or just to enjoy with the family with a good cup of coffee. It is easy to make, is healthy and nutritious. Add whipped cream on top for an added treat.

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked, canned or mashed pumpkin
• 2 slightly beaten eggs
• 3/4 cup Brown Sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg or allspice
• 1/2 teaspoon cloves
• 1 pint of melted vanilla ice cream (opitional)

Steps

1. Line a pie pan with pie dough and bake at 425ºF, until lightly browned.
2. Combine and mix the pumpkin with the eggs. Mix both ingredients well.
3. Add the brown sugar in and mix again so that the brown sugar is well folded into the mixture.
4. Combine the spices to the pint of melted ice cream.
5. Pour the ice cream mixture into the pumpkin mix. Mix until well blended so that the white streaks from the ice cream disappear. Pour mixture into pie shell.
6. Bake at 425ºF for 15 minutes.
7. Reduce heat to 350ºF and bake about 45 minutes longer or until inserted knife comes out clean.
8. Serve with whipped cream.

Tips

• Add toppings such as cherries or apples to give your pie a unique flavor. Many enjoy topping the pie with blueberries for a blueberry-pumpkin, or "blumpkin" pie.
• Also for another unique but delicious flavor, you could even add the blueberries or another kind of fruit right into the pumpkin mix.
• To make pumpkin Grape nut pudding, leave out the pie crust and instead grease the pie plate or a casserole dish with butter and pour about 1/2 cup Grape nuts in the bottom of the dish before adding the pumpkin custard mix. Bake as usual.
• You also might want to put the pie on a rack after it is done baking so it won't heat up your fridge.

Warnings

• Obviously the stove can get very hot so be careful when putting the pie into the oven and taking it out.

Things You'll Need
