Ingredients
Scale
For the Filling
2 eggs
1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
½ tsp ginger
¼ cup unrefined sugar (optional)
For the Crust
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
½ cup olive oil
½ cup low-fat milk
2 tsp salt
For the Whipped Topping
⅓ cup heavy cream
1–2 tbsp honey
Caramel sauce for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 °F (≈ 218 °C).
- Make the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat pastry flour, olive oil, low‑fat milk, and salt. Stir until just combined. Press or pat the crust mixture into a 9‑inch round pie plate, forming an even shell. Set aside.
- Prepare the filling: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, condensed milk, spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger). If using, add the ¼ cup unrefined sugar. Mix until smooth and uniform.
- Pour the filling into the prepared crust.
- Bake: Start at 425 °F for 15 minutes. Then reduce oven temperature to 350 °F (≈ 175 °C) and bake for an additional 35‑40 minutes, or until a cake tester or toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean (or almost clean—you want no gooey wet batter).
- Let the pie cool completely before adding the topping. Cooling helps the filling set and prevents the topping from melting away.
- Topping: In a bowl, combine the heavy cream and honey. Use a hand‑mixer (or stand mixer) and whip until firm peaks form. Transfer whipped cream to a piping bag (optional) and decorate the edges of the pie. Drizzle caramel sauce over the top (or edges) for that extra sweetness and presentation.
Notes
Use high-quality pumpkin puree.
Add sugar to taste, or omit for a less sweet pie.
Chill pie completely before topping.
Best topped just before serving.
