🍰 Pumpkin Pie Variations To Try

If you're looking for a way to make your pumpkin pie stand out from the rest, there are plenty of ways to customize it! Offer a variety of whipped creams flavored with spices, bourbon, or maple for guests to choose from, or try some of these suggestions:

Crust Variations

  1. Graham Cracker Crust: Graham cracker crust is sweet and crumbly with a touch of cinnamon, making it a tasty alternative to classic crust.
  2. Gingersnap Crust: Gingersnap pie crusts have a spicy kick that complements the pumpkin flavor.
  3. Oreo Crust: For a chocolatey contrast to the pumpkin filling that is crunchy and delicious!
  4. Pretzel Crust: A crisp pretzel crust offers a delightful salty-sweet combination.
  5. Gluten-Free Crust: Try using almond flour or gluten-free graham crackers if you need to accommodate dietary restrictions.

Filling Variations

  1. Chocolate Chips: Mix in chocolate chips or chunks for a bit of chocolate flavor in every bite!
  2. Apple Butter: Mixing apple butter into the filling or adding a layer of apple butter in the center of your dessert adds a deep, spiced autumn flavor.
  3. Cheesecake: A cool and creamy layer of cheesecake adds a tangy and velvety element that everyone will love!
  4. Bourbon or Rum: A splash of bourbon, brandy, or spiced or dark rum in the pie filling will add extra warmth and depth.
  5. Alternative Milk: Substitute coconut, almond, or oat milk for evaporated milk to make a dairy-free pumpkin pie!

Toppings & Garnishes

  1. Meringue Topping: Meringue is a light and fluffy alternative to whipped cream that is always delicious.
  2. Caramel Drizzle: For extra sweetness and a gourmet presentation, add caramel!
  3. Candied Pecans or Walnuts: Candied nuts add a wonderful crunch and nutty flavor.
  4. Streusel Topping: A crumbly, brown sugar topping adds texture and flavor!
  5. Ice Cream: A scoop of vanilla, cinnamon, or butter pecan ice cream on top of pumpkin pie is heavenly!

Presentation

  1. Pie Crust Shapes: Use cookie cutters to create festive shapes from extra pie dough to garnish the top. (Like I did here with my pumpkin pie and pumpkin pie without evaporated milk)!
  2. Lattice Top: Create a lattice pattern with pie crust over the pumpkin filling for a beautiful traditional pie look.
  3. Layered Look: Carefully layer different fillings for a visually pleasing presentation that only appears when sliced!

Instructions
 

Pumpkin Pie Crust

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C/Gas Mark 5).
  • Place 1 butter pie crust in a 9 inch pie pan. Flute the edges or use a fork on the edges if desired.
  • Line the pie crust pastry with tin foil or parchment paper. Add in pie weights, dry beans, or rice to weigh it down making sure that the weights are evenly distributed.
  • Par-bake the pastry pie crust for 10 minutes at 375°F (190°C/Gas Mark 5).
  • Remove the foil and pie weights (careful - they will be hot!). Set aside.

Pumpkin Pie Filling

  • In a large bowl combine together the 1 can pumpkin, 1 can sweetened condensed milk, 1 large egg, and spices (1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves, 1 pinch ground mace, or my pumpkin pie spice). Whisk till well combined.
  • Pour the batter into the par-baked pie crust. Only fill the crust to about ¾ full with the filling.
  • Bake your pumpkin pie at 375°F (190°C/Gas Mark 5) for about 55 minutes or until the center is almost set. It will still tend to look a bit jiggly, but that's OK. *If your crust edges are browning too quickly, use aluminum foil strips or a pie crust shield to wrap the pie crust edges around the 25-30 minute mark during baking.
  • Remove from oven and place on a wire rack. Allow the pie to cool for 3 hours at least, and longer if possible. *Once fully cooled, move your pie to the refrigerator. Pumpkin pie should not sit out at room temperature for more than two hours.

Notes

  • When using rice or beans as pie weights, you can save the baked rice or beans to re-use for par-baking other pie crusts later.
  • Be sure to get plain canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling in a can. Canned pumpkin tastes just as good as fresh pumpkin, and it is so much easier to work with!
  • I suggest Libby brand pure canned pumpkin as it has the lowest moisture content and will yield the best and most consistent pumpkin pies.
  • If your pie crust edges are browning too quickly, simply use aluminum foil strips or pie strips to wrap the pie crust edges around the 25–30-minute mark during baking so they do not burn.
  • Once fully cooled, move your pie to the refrigerator. Pumpkin pie should not sit out at room temperature for more than two hours.
  • To store: Since your pumpkin pie (as well as all custard pies) has eggs in the filling, it should be refrigerated between servings. Wrap the pie with aluminum foil and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
  • To freeze: First, tightly wrap the pumpkin pie or place it in an airtight container. Let it defrost in the fridge before serving.
