This pumpkin pie is light and fluffy and separates into a custard layer and a fluffy pumpkin layer when it cools. No heavy, muddy pumpkin pie here!
Ingredients
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (homemade is best, but if you use the canned, just make sure it is only pumpkin, not "pumpkin pie filling")
  • 1 ½ cup sugar
  • ½ Tsp allspice
  • ½ Tsp nutmeg
  • ¾ cup butter
  • 3 eggs, separated
  • 1 deep dish pie crust
Instructions
  1. Combine all ingredients except for eggs.
  2. Beat egg yolks and add to mixture.
  3. Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold gently into pumpkin mixture. You will still see bits of meringue and that is alright.
  4. Pour into pie shell and bake at 350º for 30 to 40 minutes.
  5. Serve at room temperature or chilled and top each slice with whipped cream.
Notes
This pie has to be completely cooled before it separates into layers. It's still yummy if you cut it too soon, but it won't have the pretty layers!
