Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 1 can pumpkin puree
  • 1 whole whole egg
  • 3 whole egg yolks
In a mixing bowl, combine one can of pumpkin puree with one whole egg and three egg yolks.
Pumpkin pie filling
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • freshly grated nutmeg
  • cinnamon
  • Chinese five spice
  • ground ginger
Add one can of sweetened condensed milk, then freshly grated nutmeg, cinnamon, a pinch of Chinese five spice, ground ginger and salt.
  • salt
Whisk very thoroughly.
  • pre-made, pre-rolled pie dough
Pour into a prepared pie shell; shake and tap to release air bubbles.
Bake in the centre of a preheated 425 degree oven for 15 minutes.
Reduce to 350 and bake 30 to 35 minutes more, until just barely set: a knife inserted an inch and a half from the edge comes out clean. Do not overcook or it will crack.
Cool completely on a rack, at least to room temperature; chilled is preferred.
Cooling and whipped cream
  • whipped cream
  • cinnamon
Top with a dollop of whipped cream and a light dusting of cinnamon.
