Serving Size: Serves 8
Ingredients:
- 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 large egg
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon fine salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon Chinese 5-spice powder
- 1 9-inch unbaked pie crust (see footnote for recipe link)
Directions:
- Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Whisk together pumpkin, egg yolks, and egg in a large bowl until smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk, cinnamon, ginger, salt, nutmeg, and Chinese 5-spice powder; whisk until thoroughly combined.
- Line a 9-inch pie plate with pie crust; crimp edges.
- Pour filling into crust; lightly tap on the counter to release air bubbles. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
- Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake until just set in the middle, 30 to 40 more minutes. A paring knife inserted into the filling, 1 inch from the edge, should come out clean. Allow to cool completely before serving.
