Chai Spice Pumpkin Pie
Description
The Chai Spice Pumpkin Pie uses canned pumpkin mixed with sweetened condensed milk, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and a blend of chai spices including cardamom, ground black pepper, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. The filling is whisked until combined and poured into a pre-rolled all-butter pie crust placed in a 9-inch pie pan.
The pie is baked initially at a higher temperature to set the crust, then the oven temperature is lowered for longer baking until the filling is mostly set but still slightly wobbly in the center. A cooling period of at least one hour allows the pie to finish setting. Serving suggestions include whipped cream or ice cream to complement the spices and texture.
To prevent over-browning, the crust edges should be shielded after 30 minutes of baking. The filling can be prepared up to 48 hours in advance, facilitating make-ahead convenience while preserving flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 cups canned pumpkin not pumpkin pie mix
- 1 sweetened condensed milk 1/2 cup
- 2 egg large, at room temperature
- 2 light brown sugar packed, 1/3 cup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon
- 1 ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon
- 1 ground nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon
- 1 ground cloves 1/4 teaspoon
- 1 pie crust all-butter, (9 inch), foolproof
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees (F).
- Roll out the pie dough on a well floured work surface, rolling it to a 12-inch round. Gently place the dough in a 9-inch pie pan and either trim the edges or crimp them decoratively; place in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
- In a large bowl using a hand mixer, or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted the whisk attachment, combine the pumpkin, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla, and spices; beat at medium speed for 2 minutes, or until well combined.
- Remove crust from fridge and pour the filling in.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350 degrees and bake for an additional 50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is almost set (it will still be a little wobbly).
- Cool on a wire rack for at least one hour before slicing. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
Notes
- Cover crust edges with foil or a pie shield after 30 minutes to prevent over-browning during baking.
- The pie filling can be made up to 48 hours ahead and stored chilled before baking.
