Pete's Best Pumpkin Pie Ever

Prep Time: 15 Minutes Cook Time: 30 Minutes Ready In: 45 Minutes Servings: 8

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree

• 3 egg yolks

• 1 large egg

• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

• 1/2 teaspoon fine salt

• 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

• 1/2 teaspoon Chinese 5-spice powder

• 1/4 tsp ground cloves

• 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

• 1 9-inch unbaked homemade pie crust (of course)

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F

Whisk together pumpkin puree, egg yolks, and egg in a large bowl until smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk, cinnamon, ginger, salt, nutmeg, cloves, pumpkin pie spice, and Chinese 5-spice powder; whisk until thoroughly combined.

Fit pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate and crimp edges.

Pour filling into the pie shell and lightly tap on the work surface to release any air bubbles.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F and bake until just set in the middle, 30 to 45 minutes. A paring knife inserted into the filling, 1 inch from the crust, should come out clean. Allow to cool completely before serving.
