Number Of Ingredients 10

1 can pumpkin puree (15 ounce)
3 egg yolks
1 egg, large
1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounce)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon Chinese 5-spice powder
1 9-inch unbaked pie crust

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Whisk together pumpkin puree, 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.
  • Fit pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate and crimp edges.
  • Pour filling into the pie shell and lightly tap on the work surface to release any 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 crust, should come out clean. Allow to cool completely before serving.
  • Cook's Note: If desired, substitute 1 small pinch of ground star anise, ground cloves, and ground white pepper for five-spice powder.
