First, your quick and "easy peasy" recipe...
Add 1/4 cup of EasyPeasie Red Blend to your favorite pumpkin pie recipe. Easy peasie!
And here's your detailed recipe!
Ingredients:
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 2 cans (15 oz each) pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup EasyPeasie RedBlend
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 eggs (slightly beaten)
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ginger
- 3 to 4 regular pie crusts
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F.
- Creamy Pumpkin Base: In a medium-sized bowl or mixer, start by beating or softening the cream cheese. Once softened, add the pumpkin puree and continue to beat until well combined.
- Add the Sweetness: Gradually add the sugar to the mixture. As you slowly pour in the EasyPeasie RedBlend, take a moment to admire the beautiful color transformation that occurs. Add the salt and give it another good mix.
- Wet Ingredients: Incorporate the slightly beaten eggs, milk, and melted butter into the mixture. Beat until these ingredients are fully integrated.
- Flavor Enhancements: Finish off the filling by adding vanilla extract, cinnamon, and ginger. Beat the mixture until it's smooth and creamy.
- Pie Assembly: Pour the pumpkin filling into your pie crusts, ensuring an even distribution.
- Baking: Place the pies in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 50 minutes. You'll know they're done when you can insert a knife or toothpick into the center and it comes out clean.
- Cooling: Once baked, remove the pies from the oven and allow them to cool before serving. This will help the filling set and make for easier slicing. *Slicing pro-tip -- make 3 initial cuts and your first and next slices will all come out easier peasier ;)
Tip: The addition of EasyPeasie RedBlend not only boosts the nutritional value of this classic dessert but also introduces a vibrant color and enhanced taste that makes this pumpkin pie a standout at any gathering. Enjoy this delightful twist on a fall favorite!
