Favorite Desserts

Pie.jpgCan you remember that sweet smell of fresh baked Pumpkin Pie as a kid? I still have fond memories of baking with my grandmother and getting to make my own special cinnamon sugar twists from unused portions of pie crust! What are you going to serve for this Thanksgiving holiday? Is it going to be a homemade Pumpkin–Pecan Pie that will give your home the smell of the season, or are you starved for time and want something that is both elegant and simple to serve?

 

If you want easy pre-made desserts that will surely impress your guests, come by Safeway Bakery and pick up one of our Pumpkin Streusel Cheesecakes or Pumpkin Mousse Cakes! These are a twist to your typical pumpkin pie, but are light and fluffy and a delicious way to celebrate the season! I recommend having at least two desserts available, perhaps one pre-made and one of your own! 

 

Here is a decadent recipe for a Pumpkin–Pecan Pie! 

 

Ingredients:

  • 3 eggs, divided pumpkin_pecan_pie.jpg
  • 1 c. canned solid pack pumpkin
  • 1 c. sugar, divided
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. ground ginger
  • 1/8 tsp. ground cloves
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 2/3 c. light or dark corn syrup
  • 2 tbsp. melted butter
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 c. coarsely chopped pecans
  • 1 frozen deep dish pie crust

Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Preheat a baking sheet in the oven and place the pie on the cookie sheet to bake.
  3. In small bowl, combine one egg, pumpkin, 1/3 cup sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt. Spread in pie crust.
  4. In medium bowl, beat remaining two eggs slightly. Stir in corn syrup and remaining 2/3 cup sugar, butter and vanilla; stir until well blended. Stir in pecans. Next, carefully spoon in over pumpkin mixture.
  5. Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until filling is set around edge. Cool pie completely on wire rack.
