PUMPKIN CREAM PIE! OH MY!

   This recipe comes from www.marthastewart.com .  A nice take on the standard pumkin pie.





If you're planning on making this for Thanksgiving, start it early in the day. The pie needs four hours to set, but the refrigerator does just about all the work.
         
  • Yield Makes one 9-inch pie
    Serves 8

Ingredients

  • For the Gingersnap Crust

    • 1 1/4 cups ground gingersnaps (from about 25 cookies)
    • 2 tablespoons sugar
    • Salt
    • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled


  • For the Pumpkin Cream Filling

    • 2 cups whole milk
    • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
    • Pinch of ground cloves
    • 1/2 cup sugar
    • Salt
    • 4 large egg yolks
    • 1/4 cup cornstarch
    • 1 1/4 cups solid-pack pumpkin (from one 15-ounce can)
    • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature
    • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream, whisked to medium peaks
    • Garnish: freshly grated nutmeg

Directions

  1. Make the gingersnap crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine gingersnaps, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Stir in melted butter. Press mixture into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch metal pie dish. Refrigerate until set, about 15 minutes. Bake until crust is golden brown, about 15 minutes. Let cool.
  2. Make the pumpkin cream filling: Bring milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, 1/4 cup sugar, and a pinch of salt to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  3. Meanwhile, whisk egg yolks with cornstarch and remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a medium bowl.
  4. Gradually whisk about 1/2 cup milk mixture into yolk mixture. Gradually whisk in remaining milk mixture. Return entire mixture to saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until bubbling in center, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Immediately whisk in pumpkin. Whisk in butter.
  5. Strain filling through a fine sieve into a clean bowl. Pour into gingersnap crust, smoothing the top with an offset spatula. Refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours. When ready to serve, top with whipped cream, and garnish with nutmeg.
