This Recipe Pairs With:
Ingredients
- Crust Ingredients
- 1 pie crust partially baked
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- Filling Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups pumpkin purée
- Candied pecans (optional)
- Whipped cream (optional)
Preparation Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine melted butter, brown sugar, and pecans to create the praline mixture for the crust. Press praline mixture into partially baked 9-inch deep dish pie shell and bake in preheated oven for about 10 minutes. Then place in freezer until praline mixture is semi-frozen. For the pie filling, combine eggs, egg yolk, sugar, and brown sugar in a bowl. Add the salt and spices, mixing well. Slowly stir in the milk and cream, then add the pumpkin purée. Pour mixture into pie shell over praline mixture. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350 degrees and bake for another 40-50 minutes or until set. Consistency of pie will be somewhere between a traditional pumpkin pie and a pumpkin cheesecake. If desired, garnish with candied pecans and whipped cream when cool.
