Very Spiced Pumpkin Pie Recipe

If you look up any pumpkin pie recipe it has a very bland amount of spices in it, this is why I've always disliked homemade ones.

So after hours/days of testing and sampling I have found an awesome mix. This is by no means weak on the spices and many may think it's WAY to much, but from many testers as well I believe this recipe is pretty much perfect.

Very Spiced Pumpkin Pie

100g Eggs (2 large eggs)
170g Brown Sugar (3/4 cup firm packed brown sugar)
425g Pumpkin Puree (15oz can of pumpkin puree) *
1 Can Evaporated Milk
2g Kosher Salt (1/2 teaspoon kosher salt)
2 Vanilla Beans

20g Ceylon Cinnamon (2 Tablespoons Firm packed ceylon cinnamon)
4g Nutmeg (2 teaspoons firm packed nutmeg)
8g Allspice (2 teaspoons firm packed allspice)
3g Cloves (1 teaspoon firm packed cloves)
5g Ginger (2 teaspoons firm packed ginger)
**All spices where freshly ground except the ceylon cinnamon and ginger which I bought new and great quality**
I have no idea how the normal cinnamon will work with this since I don't use it anymore.

Combine sugar, vanilla beans, salt, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg and cloves in small bowl. Beat eggs lightly in large bowl

Stir pumpkin puree into the sugar-spice mixture.

Slowly add in evaporated milk.

Mix thoroughly.

Blend everything in a blender for a smoother texture. This is important!!
* I baked a real pumpkin and it came to a little more then 425g so if yours goes over some.. Just add it. Doesn't matter to much.
Now I haven't done an oven temperature solely because I've yet to bake a whole one. But this mix should be fine in any normal way all other recipes are.

So it's about 350F-375F for about 50-60 minutes. If you think the crust will burn cover it for some of the time with a foil sheild on the crust only.
I personally used a cookie crumb crust in a muffin tin that cooked at 350-375 for 25 minutes.

The creamyness was just lovely. If you aren't shy of spice and have always found homemade pumpkin pies lacking, this is a great pie and can't wait to eat more of it.

Enjoy!
