Fluffy Pumpkin Pie image

I found this recipe ages ago in our local newspaper. There is enough filling for 2, 9-inch pies or one 11-inch pie. Line the pie plate with your best pie dough. Make a strong, fluted rim that extends about 1/2-inch above the rim of the dish. Do not prick the bottom of the pastry.

Time 1h5m

Yield 1-2 pies, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 1/2 cups cooked pumpkin or 3 1/2 cups canned pumpkin
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons light molasses
3 tablespoons bourbon whiskey (desirable, optional) (optional) or 3 tablespoons dark rum (desirable) (optional)
3 teaspoons cinnamon
3 teaspoons ginger
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon clove
4 egg yolks
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup milk (a few droplets more if mixture is stiff)
5 egg whites
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat over to 450 degrees.
  • Blend together the first 13 ingredients.
  • Beat the egg whites until slightly foaming.
  • Beat in a pinch of salt and continue beating to form soft peaks.
  • Beat in the sugar and continue beating to make stiff, shining peaks.
  • Beat 1/4 of the whites into the pumpkin mixture and delicately fold in the remainder.
  • At once, ladle the mixture into the pie shell(s) filling only to the rim of the pan.
  • Immediately, bake the pie(s) in the middle level of the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
  • When rim of crust colors lightly, reduce heat to 375 degrees and bake 15 minutes more - lower heat if pastry browns to much.
  • Lower heat again to 350 degrees and continue baking another 15 minutes or so, until the filling 2 inches from the edge of the pie is done (when you insert a skewer it will come out clean).
  • Turn off the oven, leave door ajar and let pie sit for 20-30 minutes more.
  • Serve warm or cold with whipped cream or ice cream.
