Best Pumpkin Pie (Ever) Recipe

Dava Smith, staff writer

INGREDIENTS:

1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree ½ teaspoon ground ginger
3 egg yolks ½ teaspoon fine salt
1 large egg ¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk ⅛ teaspoon Chinese 5-spice powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 9-inch unbaked pie crust

DIRECTIONS:

 

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C (if you’re into that )

Step 2: Whisk together pumpkin puree, egg yolks, and egg in a large bowl until smooth. Add sweetened milk.

Step 3: Fit pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate and crimp edges.

Step 4: Pour filling into the pie shell and lightly tap on the work surface to release any bubbles.

Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven (425 degrees) for 15 minutes.

Step 6: Reduce heat to 350 degrees F and bake until just set in the middle, 30 to 40 more minutes. A paring knife inserted into the filling, 1 inch from the crust, it should come out clean. Allow it to cool completely before serving!
