This best pumpkin pie recipe came about after many years of experimentation. I've finally perfected what I think is the ideal formula for a rich pumpkin pie that's much less likely to crack on top. Serve garnished with whipped cream and freshly grated nutmeg.
Ingredients
- 1 can pumpkin puree , 15 ounce
- 3 eggs yolks
- 1 large egg
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk , 14 ounce
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoons fine salt
- 0.25 teaspoons freshly grated nutmeg
- 0.13 teaspoons Chinese 5-spice powder
- 1 9-inch unbaked pie crust , see footnote for recipe link
Instructions
-
1
Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
-
2
Whisk together pumpkin, egg yolks, and egg in a large bowl until smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk, cinnamon, ginger, salt, nutmeg, and Chinese 5-spice powder; whisk until thoroughly combined.
-
3
Line a 9-inch pie plate with pie crust; crimp edges.
-
4
Pour filling into crust; lightly tap on the counter to release air bubbles. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
-
5
Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake until just set in the middle, 30 to 40 more minutes. A paring knife inserted into the filling, 1 inch from the edge, should come out clean. Allow to cool completely before serving.

Korean Saewoo Bokkeumbap (Shrimp Fried Rice)
Enjoy this shrimp fried rice with kimchi and other Korean side dishes. We lost our old rice cooker "Mr. Cuckoo" a few months ago, and because our new one makes exactly four servings, we no longer have leftover rice, which is ideal for making fried rice. Since my futile attempts to fix Mr. Cuckoo have come to an end, the missus now has to make new rice and let it cool for a few hours.
Pumpkin Pie Seeds
The pumpkins are carved, the pies are baked, but how should you toast those pumpkin seeds? My favorite variation by far are these sweet pumpkin pie-spiced seeds. I've tried the stovetop method for coating the seeds, but they were too sticky and hard for my tastes, and easy to burn too. Try this baking method instead and they'll turn out perfectly toasted and crunchy.
