Equipment
- Wooden Spoon
- Frying Pan
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 .25-ounce package Unflavored Gelatin
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon Ground Ginger
- ½ teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 1 14-ounce can Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 2 eggs Beaten Eggs
- 1 15-ounce can Pumpkin Puree
- 1 9-inch Prepared Graham Cracker Crust
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients. You'll need unflavored gelatin, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, salt, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, pumpkin puree, and a prepared graham cracker crust. This will make the process smooth and efficient.
- In a heavy saucepan, combine the gelatin, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, salt, sweetened condensed milk, and the eggs. Mix well until everything is fully combined. The mixture should look smooth and creamy at this stage.
- Let this mixture stand for 1 minute. This allows the gelatin to bloom, which is essential for achieving the right texture in your pie.
- Place the saucepan on the burner over medium-low heat. Stir the mixture constantly for about 10 minutes. You want the gelatin to dissolve completely and the mixture to thicken slightly. You should notice a change in consistency as it heats.
- Once the mixture has thickened, remove it from the heat. Take a moment to appreciate the heavenly aroma; it’s truly inviting!
- Now, stir in the pumpkin puree until it is fully incorporated. This step will give your filling its signature flavor and vibrant color.
- After mixing, it’s time to pour this delightful mixture into your prepared graham cracker crust. Make sure to spread it evenly for beautiful slices later on.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. You’ll want it to chill for at least 3 to 4 hours, but overnight is even better if you can wait!
- When you're ready to serve, remove the pie from the fridge. You can top it with some whipped cream or even a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra touch.
Notes
Always make sure your pie is well-chilled before serving. This ensures that it holds its shape when sliced and enhances the flavors.
