Description
This Halloween Pumpkin Pie combines the rich, spiced flavors of pumpkin pie with spooky Halloween decorations for a fun and festive dessert. Perfect for Halloween parties or family gatherings.
Ingredients
For the Pie:
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
Extra pie crust (for Halloween cutouts like ghosts or pumpkins)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare the Pie Crust: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out the pie crust and place in a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp or flute the edges and set aside.
- Make the Pumpkin Filling: In a bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt until smooth and well-combined.
- Assemble the Pie: Pour the pumpkin filling into the pie crust and smooth the top.
- Add Halloween Cutouts: Roll out extra pie crust and cut out Halloween shapes (like ghosts, pumpkins, or bats) with cookie cutters. Place them on top of the pie later for decoration.
- Bake the Pie: Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 35-40 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Bake the Cutouts: Place Halloween cutouts on a baking sheet and bake for 7–10 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Cool and Decorate: Let the pie cool for at least 2 hours. Once cooled, place the Halloween cutouts on top.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve with whipped cream or your favorite topping for an extra festive touch.
Notes
Whipped Cream Ghosts: Use whipped cream to create cute ghost shapes on top.
Candy Eyes: Add candy eyes for a spooky effect.
Chocolate Drizzle: Drizzle melted chocolate on top for an indulgent decoration.
