Ingredients

  • 1. A single unbaked pie crust measuring 9 inches in diameter
  • 2. A measure of evaporated milk, equivalent to one cup
  • 3. A half cup of firmly packed brown sugar
  • 4. One and a half teaspoons of firmly packed brown sugar
  • 5. A quarter cup of coffee-infused liqueur, like the renowned Kahlua® brand
  • 6. A quarter cup of light corn syrup
  • 7. Approximately one and a quarter teaspoons of ground cinnamon
  • 8. Half a teaspoon of salt
  • 9. A quarter teaspoon each of ground cloves and nutmeg
  • 10. A hint of ground ginger
  • 11. One and a half cups of canned pumpkin puree
  • 12. Two eggs, lightly beaten

Step 1

To start, preheat your oven to a toasty 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Gently press the pie crust into a welcoming 9-inch pie dish, ensuring a cozy fit.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, let's whip up a delightful concoction. Combine the evaporated milk, luscious brown sugar, a splash of coffee-flavored liqueur, corn syrup for sweetness, a sprinkle of cinnamon, a pinch of salt, a hint of cloves, a dash of nutmeg, and a touch of ginger. Using a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, blend this medley until it transforms into a velvety smooth mixture.

Step 3

Next, introduce the pumpkin and crack in the eggs into the aromatic brown sugar elixir. Blend everything together until it harmoniously unites. Carefully pour this spiced pumpkin potion into the waiting pie crust, creating a symphony of flavors.

Step 4

Slide your masterpiece into the preheated oven for an initial 10 minutes. Then, lower the temperature to a gentle 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and let it bake further until the center gently firms up, inviting you to indulge in its autumnal allure.
