Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 (9-inch) premade pie shell
1 (15-ounce) can unsweetened pumpkin puree
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 1/2 cups heavy cream, divided
1/3 cup sour cream
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
Pinch ground cloves
Pinch ground nutmeg
Pinch salt
2 tablespoons dark rum
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup Praline Pecans, recipe follows
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Partially bake the pie shell, according to the package directions.
  • In the large bowl of an electric mixer, whisk the pumpkin puree, eggs, brown sugar, melted butter, 1 1/2 cups of the heavy cream, sour cream, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, salt, dark rum, and vanilla. Pour into the shell. Bake for 10 minutes, and then reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F. Continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes. Cool to room temperature and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • With the whisk attachment of an electric mixer, whip the remaining cup of heavy cream on high speed until the cream starts to froth. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar and whip on high until the cream stands in peaks. Either spoon or pipe the whipped cream around the edges of the pie and garnish with Praline Pecans.
  • In a small skillet melt the butter and sugar over medium heat. Add the pecans, stirring until bubbly; about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour onto aluminum foil. When the pecans are cool, crumble into small pieces and sprinkle the topping on top of the whipped cream.

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.

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.

2 1/2 cups almond flour

Tips:

  • Use canned pumpkin: Paula Deen's recipe calls for canned pumpkin, which is a convenient and affordable option. If you prefer, you can use fresh pumpkin, but you will need to roast and puree it yourself.
  • Don't overmix the filling: Overmixing the filling can make the pie tough. Stir until the ingredients are just combined.
  • Bake the pie until the center is set: The pie is done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This typically takes about 50-60 minutes.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving: The pie needs to cool completely before serving so that the filling has time to set. This will also make it easier to slice.
  • Serve the pie with whipped cream or ice cream: Pumpkin pie is traditionally served with whipped cream or ice cream. This adds a delicious and creamy element to the pie.

Conclusion:

Paula Deen's pumpkin pie is a classic fall dessert that is perfect for Thanksgiving or any other special occasion. With its creamy, flavorful filling and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
