Delicious and Easy Pumpkin Pie Recipe

This classic pumpkin pie recipe is simple and delicious. Made with a homemade crust and a creamy pumpkin filling, it's the perfect dessert for Thanksgiving or any fall gatherings. The pie is spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, giving it a warm and cozy flavor. Serve it with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat.

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and diced
• ⅓ cup ice water
• 1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin puree
• 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• ½ teaspoon salt
• Whipped cream, for serving

Directions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to cut it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie dish and press it into the bottom and sides. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until well combined.
5. Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Bake the pie for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Continue baking for an additional 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
7. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
8. Serve the pumpkin pie chilled with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
