FIVE-SPICE PUMPKIN PIE WITH PHYLLO CRUST



Five-Spice Pumpkin Pie with Phyllo Crust image

Try this deep-dish pumpkin pie when you need to please both traditional and modern palates at the Thanksgiving table. Adding Chinese five-spice powder to the filling may seem unorthodox, but two of its components (cinnamon and clove) can already be found in standard pumpkin-pie spice. The dramatic crust is delightfully easy to create-just brush butter onto sheets of store-bought phyllo and layer them at different angles in the pan. Finish with freshly whipped cream, and you'll have one mighty fine, crowd-pleasing dessert.

Time 1h50m

Yield Serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
8 sheets frozen phyllo dough (each approximately 13 by 18 inches), thawed
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
3 large eggs, room temperature
2 1/2 cups pure pumpkin purée (from a 29-ounce can)
12 ounces evaporated milk (1 can)
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla paste or extract
3 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Lightly sweetened whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Stir together 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder. Brush 1 sheet of phyllo with butter (as you work, keep remaining phyllo covered with a kitchen towel); sprinkle evenly with 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar mixture.
  • Starting at one short end, fold in half to enclose butter and sugar mixture; brush top with more butter. Transfer to a 9-inch springform pan, buttered-side-down, gently pressing into bottom and sides.
  • Repeat with remaining phyllo, butter, and sugar mixture, arranging in overlapping layers to completely and evenly cover bottom and sides of pan.
  • Bake until crust is crisp and golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cool completely. (The baked cooled crust can be wrapped and stored at room temperature up to 1 day.)
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together eggs, pumpkin, milk, syrup, vanilla, flour, salt, and remaining 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder until smooth. Pour mixture into crust and bake 20 minutes.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and continue baking until custard is just set in center, 40 to 50 minutes more. Transfer pan to wire rack; let cool completely. Remove pie from pan, cut into wedges, and serve with whipped cream.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree provides the best flavor and texture for your pie. To make your own puree, simply roast a pumpkin until tender, then scoop out the flesh and puree it in a food processor or blender.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your pie tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Blind bake the pie crust: Blind baking the pie crust helps to prevent it from becoming soggy. To blind bake the crust, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the pie crust with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Five-spice pumpkin pie is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for fall. With its rich, flavorful filling and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give this five-spice pumpkin pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
