Answer 1

Classic Pumpkin Pie:

Refrigerated pie dough makes this recipe simple to prepare. Bake the pie on a baking sheet in the lower third of the oven to encourage a crisp crust.

Filling:
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 3/4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated low-fat milk
2 large egg whites
1 large egg
1 (15-ounce) can unsweetened pumpkin

Crust:
1/2 (15-ounce) package refrigerated pie dough (such as Pillsbury)
Cooking spray

Topping:
1/4 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon amaretto (almond-flavored liqueur)
2 teaspoons powdered sugar

Position oven rack to lowest position.

Preheat oven to 425°.

To prepare filling, combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add pumpkin, and stir with a whisk until smooth.

To prepare crust, roll dough into an 11-inch circle; fit into a 9-inch pie plate coated with cooking spray. Fold edges under and flute.

Pour pumpkin mixture into the crust. Place pie plate on a baking sheet. Place baking sheet on lowest oven rack. Bake at 425° for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350° (do not remove pie from oven); bake an additional 50 minutes or until almost set. Cool completely on wire rack.

To prepare topping, beat cream with a mixer at high speed until stiff peaks form. Add the amaretto and powdered sugar, and beat until blended. Serve with pie.

Yield: 12 servings (serving size: 1 wedge and about 1 tablespoon topping)

Fresh Whipped Cream
Serves 12 (1 Tbsp per serving)

1 Cup Heavy Cream
1/3 Cup Sugar Substitute (recommended: Splenda)
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions:
With an electric mixer on high, whip the heavy cream just until frothy. Then add in the sugar substitute and vanilla extract and continue to whip on high until peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip, or cream will break.

Store in an air tight container and refrigerate.

Answer 3

Wash, and halve pie pumpkin(s). Scoop out seeds. Place pumpkin halves cut side down in baking pan. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until pumpkins are soft to the touch. Remove from oven, and let cool. Scrape out pumpkin meat, and puree in food processor or blender.

I use a recipe that uses melted vanilla ice cream instead of evaporated milk. I don't know why that makes it better but it's the best pumpkin pie I've ever had!!!

* 1 1/2 pints vanilla ice cream, softened
* 3 eggs
* 1 3/4 cups pumpkin puree
* 3/4 cup white sugar
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
* 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 2 (9 inch) unbaked pie shells

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F
Place ice cream near the warm oven to soften.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs. Stir in the pumpkin puree, sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Mix in soft ice cream until smooth. Pour filling into two 9 inch pie shells.
3. Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees F , and bake an additional 30 to 40 minutes, or until filling is set.

Answer 4

Cut the pumpkin in half, scoop out the seeds and goop, roast in oven until soft. Scoop meat out of skin (skin should just peel right off) and puree very well in a blender. Then just use the standard pumpkin pie recipe you find on the can. Better than boiling the pumpkin because it takes on a lot of moisture and takes a long time to bake. really good. Use whole wheat crust.
