Pumpkin Pie Recipe (Made with Real Fresh Pumpkin)

Indulge in the warm and comforting flavors of fall with my Easy Pumpkin Pie Recipe - a single crust pumpkin pie made with fresh pumpkin puree, ice cream, eggs, sugar, and spices.

What makes this delightful dessert different is that it’s made with real pumpkin, transformed into a homemade pumpkin puree that's rich and velvety. No need for store-bought crusts here; I'm guiding you through making your very own buttery flaky pie crust from scratch.

Using a potato masher, I create a luscious pumpkin filling that's bursting with the essence of fresh pumpkin. And here's the twist: instead of the traditional evaporated or sweetened condensed milk, I'm taking a creamy route with vanilla ice cream. This unique choice elevates the pie to a whole new level of indulgence.

No more relying on pre-packaged options when you can craft delicious homemade pies right in your kitchen.

Forget about the hassle of hunting for different brands of pumpkin puree at the grocery store; with my easy recipe, you'll be savoring the real deal in no time. So, grab a small pie pumpkin, follow these simple steps, and next time you're craving a slice of homemade goodness, you'll know how to whip up a delicious pumpkin pie.

2. Wash and halve pumpkin, remove the seeds. Peel it and cut the flesh into small cubes. Place pumpkin pieces in a pot, cover with water and boil for about 20 minutes, or until tender. (Optionally, halve it, place cut side down and bake in oven at 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) for about 1 1/2 hours, or until tender. Let the roasted pumpkin cool a little then scrape the pumpkin flesh from the peel). Mash cooked pumpkin (I use potato masher).
