Pumpkin Pie

This is Pumpkin Pie with pizazz! With the addition of cream cheese and grated orange peel in the pie, plus the secret ingredient in the crust (peanut butter!) this pie gives you all the feelings of fall in the divine flavor of each slice.
The extra ingredients in this recipe may sound like interesting additions, but together, they are delectable. Don’t take our word for it; try it for yourself!

Prep: 25 minutes Bake: 55 to 65 minutes

Total: Approx. 2 hours

Yields: 1 whole pie

Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 3 Tbsp powdered sugar 
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup margarine 
  • 2 Tbsp peanut butter
  • 3 Tbsp cold water
  • Pinch of salt

For the Pie:

  • 1 3/4 cups pumpkin puree (15 ounce)
  • 1 can evaporated milk (12 ounce)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar 
  • 3 eggs 
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese
  • 2 tsp pumpkin spice mix 
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • grated peel from one orange 

This recipe was developed specifically for use with our Frilly Pie Pan.

Directions

  1. Mix the sifted flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add butter, margarine and peanut butter and mix using an electric mixer until it resembles coarse meal. 
  2. Add cold water and mix until the dough starts to come together. 
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pack it into a ball. Cut the dough in half and flatten it into two discs. Cover each one tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least half an hour.
  4. Roll out the dough and fit it into the pie pan, trimming any excess dough from the edge of the pie plate. (Optionally, use a cookie cutter or knife to cut out fall themed shapes from any access dough to decorate the top of the pie, if desired.)
  5. Preheat the oven to 425F.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all of the dry ingredients. 
  7. Add the pumpkin puree, milk, cream cheese, orange peel and eggs, and using an electric mixer mix until well combined. Pour into the pie shell.
  8. Bake at 425F for for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350F (keeping the pie in the oven); bake for 40 to 50 minutes longer, or until the pie is set.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
