Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can pumpkin puree
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your pumpkin dessert will bake evenly and thoroughly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the can of pumpkin puree and the can of sweetened condensed milk. Use a whisk or a spatula to blend them together until smooth and well combined.
- Add the two eggs to the pumpkin mixture. Beat the eggs lightly before adding them to ensure they incorporate easily. Mix everything together until the mixture is uniform.
- Sprinkle in the teaspoon of cinnamon and the half teaspoon of nutmeg. These spices will add warmth and flavor to your dessert. Stir well to distribute the spices evenly throughout the mixture.
- Once the filling is well mixed, pour it into the pre-made graham cracker crust. Make sure to spread it evenly to ensure even cooking.
- Place the filled graham cracker crust in the preheated oven. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- After baking, remove the dessert from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes. This will help it set further.
- Once cooled, you can refrigerate the dessert for an hour if you prefer it chilled. Serve with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for added flavor and presentation.
Tips
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing to ensure a smooth, lump-free filling.
- For extra flavor, consider toasting your spices lightly in a dry pan before adding them to the mixture.
- Use a whisk or electric mixer to incorporate eggs thoroughly and prevent any streaks in your filling.
- Check the dessert's doneness by gently shaking the pan - the center should be slightly firm and not liquid.
- Allow the dessert to cool completely before refrigerating to prevent condensation and maintain the perfect texture.
- For a gourmet touch, garnish with freshly whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or even some candied pecans.
- This dessert can be made a day ahead, making it perfect for entertaining or holiday gatherings.
