Indulge in the symphony of flavors brought by this delectable Honey Phyllo Pumpkin Pie. This extraordinary dessert harmonizes the rich, earthy notes of pumpkin with the delicate sweetness of honey, all enveloped in layers of crispy, flaky phyllo dough. A tapestry of textures and flavors, this pie will awaken your senses and leave you craving more.
The star of this recipe is undoubtedly the homemade pumpkin puree, crafted from scratch using fresh, ripe pumpkins. This laborious process ensures a velvety smooth, deeply flavorful puree that forms the heart of the pie. Combined with a medley of aromatic spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, the pumpkin filling exudes a warm, inviting fragrance that permeates your kitchen.
Encasing this delectable filling is a crown of golden-brown phyllo dough, brushed with melted butter and honey. As the pie bakes, the dough transforms into a crisp, ethereal crust that shatters with each bite, revealing the tender pumpkin filling beneath. The honey adds a subtle sweetness that complements the pumpkin's natural flavors, creating a harmonious balance that lingers on the palate.
Accompanying this exceptional pie are three additional recipes that elevate the pumpkin experience. A classic Pumpkin Pie with a graham cracker crust offers a traditional take on this beloved dessert, while the Pumpkin Cheesecake Swirl Pie combines two iconic flavors into one extraordinary creation. For a unique twist, the Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars blend pumpkin puree with rich chocolate chips, resulting in chewy, indulgent bars that are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven:
- Arrange an oven rack in the center position and preheat the oven to 325°F. Place the parbaked pie crust on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet and set aside.
- Brown the butter:
- In a small saucepan, cook the butter over medium-low heat, stirring and scraping the bottom and sides constantly with a heatproof spatula. The mixture will sputter as the water boils off. Continue to cook, stirring and scraping, until the sputtering subsides, the butter is foaming, and the solid bits turn a dark brown, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Caramelize the honey:
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately add the honey (to prevent the butter from burning), stirring to combine. Return the saucepan to medium heat and bring to a boil. Continue to cook, swirling often, until the mixture is darkened slightly and has a savory, nutty smell, about 2 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and slowly stream in the heavy cream, stirring constantly (be careful-the mixture may sputter) until it's smooth. Set the warm honey mixture aside.
- Make the pumpkin filling:
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs to break up the whites and yolks, then add the brown sugar and whisk vigorously until the mixture has lightened in color by a shade or two, about 1 minute. Whisk in the pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger, vanilla, salt, allspice, nutmeg, and cloves until smooth. Slowly stream in the warm honey mixture, whisking constantly, until the filling is completely homogenous.
- Fill the crust and bake:
- Pour the filling into the parbaked crust all the way to the top. (Depending on the height of your crust, you may have some leftover filling, which I recommend you keep! Ever so carefully transfer the pie to the center rack and bake until the filling is set and puffed around the edges and the center wobbles gently, 45 to 60 minutes.
- Cool the pie gently:
- Turn off the oven and prop the door open with a wooden spoon. Let the pie cool completely in the oven. Doing so will allow it to cool gradually, which will prevent cracking on the surface.
- Serve:
- Slice the pie into wedges and top each piece with softly whipped cream. Grate a bit of fresh nutmeg over the cream and serve.
- Do Ahead: The pie, covered and refrigerated, will keep up to 3 days but is best served on the first or second day (the crust will soften over time).
- Cooks' Notes
- Use a good-quality, dark-hued honey. The more strongly flavored the better, so it stands out against the pumpkin. Just don't use buckwheat or chestnut honey, which are too intense.
- Bake any remaining pumpkin filling separately in a small ramekin. I like to do this to prevent ingredient waste, and also because it allows me to sample the filling prior to cutting into the pie!

FIVE-SPICE PUMPKIN PIE WITH PHYLLO CRUST
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.

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:
- Prepare the phyllo dough in advance: Thaw the phyllo dough in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for at least two hours before using.
- Handle the phyllo dough gently: Phyllo dough is delicate, so handle it with care to avoid tearing it.
- Keep the phyllo dough moist: Cover the phyllo dough with a damp towel or plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the phyllo dough: A sharp knife will help you make clean cuts without tearing the dough.
- Don't overfill the phyllo dough: Overfilling the phyllo dough will make it difficult to fold and seal.
- Bake the phyllo dough until it is golden brown: The phyllo dough should be baked until it is golden brown and crispy.
