PUMPKIN PIE (PAULA DEEN)



Pumpkin Pie (Paula Deen) image

This pie is creamy and light--melt in the mouth delicious. The seasonings are subtile and thoroughly enjoyable. From Food Network's 2006 Thanksgiving menu.

Provided by SharleneW

Categories     Pie

Time 1h35m

Yield 1 pie, 6-9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 cups canned pumpkin, mashed
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg yolk, slightly beaten
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup half-and-half
1/4 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
1 (9 inch) refrigerated pie dough
whipped cream, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place 1 piece of pre-made pie dough down into a (9-inch) pie pan and press down along the bottom and all sides. Pinch and crimp the edges together to make a pretty pattern. Put the pie shell back into the freezer for 1 hour to firm up. Fit a piece of aluminum foil to cover the inside of the shell completely. Fill the shell up to the edges with pie weights or dried beans (about 2 pounds) and place it in the oven. Bake for 10 minutes, remove the foil and pie weights and bake for another 10 minutes or until the crust is dried out and beginning to color.
  • (I dispensed with lining the pie tin with foil and weights. I pricked the bottom and sides lightly and baked for 10 minutes until the crust was begining to turn golden brown. I made a shield with foil for the edges of the crust and then filled and baked pie).
  • For the filling, in a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer. Add the pumpkin and beat until combined. Add the sugar and salt, and beat until combined. Add the eggs mixed with the yolks, half-and-half, and melted butter, and beat until combined. Finally, add the vanilla, cinnamon, and ginger, if using, and beat until incorporated.
  • Pour the filling into the warm prepared pie crust and bake for 50 minutes, or until the center is set. Place the pie on a wire rack and cool to room temperature. Cut into slices and top each piece with a generous amount of whipped cream.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree. Fresh pumpkin puree has a more intense flavor than canned puree. To make your own pumpkin puree, simply roast a pumpkin in the oven until tender, then scoop out the flesh and puree it in a food processor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make it tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the pie in a preheated oven. This will help the pie to cook evenly.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will give the flavors time to develop and the filling to set.
  • Serve the pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Conclusion:

Paula Deen's Pumpkin Pecan Pie is a delicious and classic fall dessert. With its creamy pumpkin filling, crunchy pecan topping, and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give this recipe a try!
