vegetarian Recipe: Pumpkin Pie

This "no-fault" pumpkin pie is the perfect end to Thanksgiving dinner.

Yield 1 pie
Time 1 (if using canned pumpkin) to 2 (fresh pumpkin) hours
Tools
  • Cooking sheet
  • Bowl
  • Food processor
  • Pie plate
  • Rubber spatula
Ingredients
  • 3-pound whole pumpkin or 29 oz canned pumpkin
  • 3 T white sugar
  • 3 T brown sugar
  • 2 T molasses
  • ½ t cloves or allspice
  • 1½-2 t cinnamon
  • 1½-2 t powdered ginger
  • ½ t salt
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1½ c evaporated milk
  • 1 pie crust, unbaked
Directions Preheat oven to 375º.

Cook the pumpkin (if using canned pumpkin skip to the next paragraph): Cut the pumpkin in half, place it face down on cooking sheet, prick with a fork, and bake at 375º until flesh is tender, at least 45 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, remove the seeds, then scoop out the flesh and purée. You'll end up with about 3 c of pumpkin purée.

Add the sugars, spices, eggs, and milk to the pumpkin purée and beat until smooth.

Pour into the pie crust and bake for 10 minutes. Lower the heat to 350º and bake until pie is firm in the center, about 40 minutes.

Cool and serve.

Notes Pumpkin pie is divine with sweetened or unsweetened whipped cream.

Wondering what to do with the seeds? Roast 'em!

Adapted from Molly Katzen's New Moosewood Cookbook, in which it's called "No-Fault Pumpkin Pie"
