Pumpkin Pie with Greek Yogurt image

Let me start by saying I have disliked pumpkin pie my entire life, until a dear friend passed this one along to me last year. It originally called for sour cream in place of Greek yogurt, but in my bid to make it healthier, I switched it up and it works beautifully! Enjoy!

Time 2h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 cups pumpkin puree
¾ cup cane sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons molasses
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
1 (9 inch) prepared chocolate cookie crumb crust

Steps:

  • Place a double layer of cheesecloth in a strainer over a bowl, making sure there is enough space below the strainer to contain any dripping liquid. Pour Greek yogurt into the strainer and allow to drain for 1 hour. Transfer yogurt to a large bowl; discard cheesecloth and dripping liquid.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Add pumpkin puree, sugar, eggs, molasses, cinnamon, salt, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves to the yogurt and beat with an electric mixer until blended. Pour pumpkin batter into cookie crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake until edges are firm except for a small spot in the center that will jiggle when the pan is gently shaken, about 45 minutes. Set the pan on a wire rack, and allow to cool.
