Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups pumpkin
  • 1 3/4 cups milk
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 3 eggs or 4 egg yolks
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 9 inches pie crusts, unbaked

Method

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Line pan with pasty, build up high fluted edge.
  • Beat remaining ingredients together. Feel free to substitute alternate milks -- Almond, soy, coconut, whole, skim --Note: Rice milk does NOT work for this recipe -- Something about an enzyme that keeps it from thickening!
  • Pour into pastry lined pan.
  • Bake until knife inserted 1" from side comes out clean. Center may look soft but will set later.
  • Bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes then decrease to 350 degrees for 40-55 minutes. If crust starts to get too dark, cover with foil.
  • Serve with sweetened whipped cream if desired.
