Baked Pumpkin Custard When you've had cheesecake for the
first time, it's hard to go back to a regular pie. They're easy to prepare,
need few ingredients, and are guaranteed to please at any meal.
Use a readymade graham cracker crust that is nine inches in
diameter to save time. One and a quarter cups of graham cracker crumbs, half a
cup of finely crushed ginger snap cookies, one stick of melted salted butter,
one tablespoon each of light brown sugar and sugar, and a pinch of salt are all
you need to make it from scratch.
Combine everything and pack it into a pie dish that's nine
inches in diameter. Use enough to coat the entire bottom of the pan and about
three-quarters of the way up the edges. Shaving some chocolate over the base
can give it a richer flavor. Wait to pour the filling over the crust until
after it has been combined.
The filling calls for 3 packages of cream cheese, 1 can of
pumpkin puree (15 ounces), 3 eggs, 1 cup of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon,
1/4 teaspoon of allspice, 1/8 teaspoon of grated nutmeg, and 1 teaspoon of
vanilla extract.
Turn the oven on at 350 degrees and start blending the
filling. Combine the nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, and sugar in a small bowl and
stir until well combined. Cream cheese should be at room temperature before you
begin beating it for about two minutes with an electric mixer in a bigger bowl.
Add the sugar and spice blend and continue beating for about a minute, or until
the mixture is creamy and smooth. Mix in between each addition of egg. Combine
the pumpkin and vanilla with the rest of the ingredients.
After the oven has been preheated for one hour, pour the
mixture into the prepared crust and bake. Be sure to check for doneness before
taking the pie out of the oven, as the cooking time may increase if you use a
thick pan. After removing the pie from the oven, let it cool for about fifteen
minutes before storing it in the fridge for at least four hours.
Cool whip, whipped cream, shaved chocolate, and pecans are
some of the most frequently used toppings. Use your imagination to come up with
a delicious topping, but we recommend cool whip with crushed pecans sprinkled
on top.
These pies are quite easy to put together and may be stored
in the fridge for up to five days. Simply double the ingredients by two for a
double pie. If you're making pies for three people or more, it's easier to
prepare the fillings for two pies at a time and then pour them into the crusts.
The final product will be a cheesecake that is as airy and
sweet as pumpkin pie.
The grated chocolate and nuts on top make a great presentation for the dessert.
After preparing this delicious treat, you may find it tough to stick with
traditional pumpkin pie during the holidays.
