West Texas Pumpkin Pie Recipe
This creamy, spiced pumpkin pie is the perfect dessert for Thanksgiving, offering the warm, comforting flavors that make the holiday so special. For an extra touch of West Texas, try adding a bit of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of cayenne pepper to give it that regional heat, or top it with some local pecans for added texture. Top it off with whipped cream or enjoy it as-is for a slice of true West Texas goodness.
Ingredients for the Pumpkin Filling:
1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon (use West Texas cinnamon for a richer flavor!)
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
2 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream (a touch of Texas cream makes it richer)
1/2 cup whole milk
1 tsp vanilla extract (try local West Texas vanilla for added depth)
For the Crust:
1 pre-baked pie crust (homemade or store-bought; if you're feeling extra Texas, use a buttery, flaky crust!)
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Pumpkin Filling
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
Beat in the eggs, then stir in the heavy cream, milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Step 2: Assemble the Pie
Pour the pumpkin mixture into the pre-baked pie crust.
Smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 3: Bake the Pie
Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F, then reduce the temperature to 350°F and bake for an additional 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
Let the pie cool completely before serving.
