Pumpkin Pie with Orange Zest

Fresh out the oven pumpkin pie

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. This will be a weekend of turkey and gravy, and of course pumpkin pie. I love pumpkin pie. Its one of my favourite desserts, and its much easier to make than most people realize.

Today’s video shows how easy it is to make this classic with a twist. My video on Tuesday past, was all about making pie crust, which you can check out if you have not seen yet. Using my no-fail pie crust recipe, you can ready for the filling to end up with the tastiest pie for your Thanksgiving Dinner. You will need the following list of ingredients, which I have given with both weights and volume measurements:

140g2/3cbrown sugar
1tspcinnamon
½tspginger
½tspnutmeg
¼tspallspice
2eggs
½tspvanilla
250ml1cupmilk
zest of 1orange
275g1⅓cuppumpkin
  1. Preheat oven to 450F.
  2. Begin by mixing the flour, salt, and spices.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well.
  4. Zest orange and add to the mixture.
  5. Cut the orange in half and juice out the orange. Add enough water to get ½cup of liquid and add to mixture. Add the milk and pumpkin and blend thoroughly.
  6. Place pie crust into the oven and fill with pumpkin filling mixture.
  7. After 10 minutes, reduce heat to 325F. Check after 40 minutes. It took me just over 50 minutes at 350F. Take care not to overcook.
  8. Remove from oven and allow to cool

Have a great Thanksgiving Dinner.
