⑬ Halloween Ghost Pumpkin Pie
This year’s Halloween wouldn’t be a complete treat, the absence of this classic holiday treat would bring more fear to any holiday feast eaters. Make this Halloween Ghost Pumpkin Pie for your Halloween get-together! Just use pie cutters or small cookie cutters to decorate
Ingredients:
For Pie Crust:
- 2 cups flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 2/3 cup shortening (lard)
- ¼ cup water
For Pumpkin Pie Filling:
- 2 cups pureed pumpkin
- 2 eggs
- 1 ½ cups light cream
- ½ cup sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp cloves
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees
Making The Pie Crust:
- Make your pie crust first
- Sift the flour and salt into a bowl
- With a pie cutter, cut in the shortening until the particles are pea sized
- Sprinkle in the water, 1 tsp or so at a time, mixing lightly with a fork. Don’t over mix or the crust will be tough
- Press into a ball
- Split the pie dough ball into 2 balls, one with 2/3 of the dough, and 1/3 the rest
- On sheet of parchment paper, roll out the 2 balls of dough. The parchment paper makes it really easy to pick up the dough to press it into a pie plate
- Press the larger crust into a 9” pie plate. Set aside the smaller section of dough (you will use this later for the decorative crust.)
- First, we will bake the empty crust in the 400-degree oven for 20 minutes. To do that, lay a sheet of tin foil over the pie dough, making sure all the edges are covered. Fill the tin foil liner with rice to keep the crust flat during baking. Bake for 20 minutes.
- When the crust is done, remove it from the oven, and turn your oven down to 375 degrees.
Making The Pie Crust Decorations:
- Use the smaller pie crust dough ball to make the crust shapes
- Using a pie crust cutter or even small cookie cutters, cut out little shapes for the top of the pie crust. Set aside until it’s time to decorate.
Making The Pie Filling:
- While the crust is baking, make the pie filling.
- In a bowl whisk together the eggs.
- Add the pumpkin puree, cream, sugars, and spices and mix until smooth.
- Pour the pie filling into the hot pie crust.
- Now it’s time to decorate your pie! Lay the pie crust shapes out along the edge of the pie or anywhere that you like
- Bake in a 375-degree oven for 35 to 45 minutes more. You will know the pie filling is set by when you move the dish, and the center of the filling moves like gelatin. Not watery but gelatinous by nature.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. It needs this time for the filling to be set completely.
- Serve with ice cream or whipping cream!
