Susans Perfect Pumpkin Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Set cream cheese and butter out to soften to room temperature. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and grease and flour the paper. I used Baker's Joy spray to make this step easier. Sprinkle a clean kitchen towel with the 1/4 cup of powdered sugar.
• In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. In the large bowl of a mixer, beat eggs, sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla until smooth. Add in pumpkin and beat a few more seconds. Stir in the flour mixture. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
• Bake for 13-15 minutes or until cake springs back when touched. Immediately loosen and flip cake onto prepared towel.
• Carefully peel off the paper. Roll up cake and towel together, starting with the narrow end. Cool completely on a wire rack.
• Beat cream cheese, butter, 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla until smooth. Beat in additional 1/4 cup powdered sugar as necessary to make a good spreading consistency. Carefully unroll cake and spread filing over cake.
• Reroll the cake and wrap in plastic wrap or waxed paper tightly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Slice in 3/4" pieces to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; lightly oil the foil.
• Arrange pumpkin halves onto the prepared baking sheet, cut sides down.
• Bake in preheated oven until flesh is tender throughout, about 40 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
• Increase oven heat to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Scrape pumpkin flesh into a large mixing bowl. Add eggs, heavy cream, sour cream, demerara sugar, flour, pumpkin pie spice, and salt; beat until smooth. Pour the pumpkin mixture into pie crusts.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Whisk pumpkin, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, spices and salt in medium bowl until smooth. Pour into crust. Bake 15 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue baking 35 to 40 minutes or until knife inserted 1 inch from crust comes out clean. Cool. Garnish as desired. Store leftovers covered in refrigerator.

Steps:

• On a lightly floured surface, roll out pate brisee to a 13-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Fit into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim edge, leaving a 1-inch overhang: fold edge under and crimp as desired. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line crust with parchment and fill with pie weights or dried beans; bake until crust is set, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove pie weights and parchment, and continue to bake until bottom of crust is lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Brush crust with egg white; let cool on a wire rack.
• In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, pumpkin, evaporated milk, brown sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and nutmeg.
• Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Pour pumpkin mixture into cooled crust. Bake until center is set but slightly wobbly, 50 to 55 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 6 hours and preferably overnight. Slice and serve with whipped cream, if desired.
