Description
A delightful pumpkin pie jazzed up with mascarpone cheese for a creamy twist on a classic fall dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 prepared whole-grain spelt pie crust
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Mix the filling: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, mascarpone cheese, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Stir until everything is smooth and creamy.
- Add to the crust: Carefully pour the luscious filling into your prepared spelt pie crust, spreading it evenly.
- Bake it: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set. You can check for doneness by gently shaking the pie—if the filling jiggles slightly in the center, it’s ready!
- Cool and serve: Allow the pie to cool down. For a beautiful presentation, swirl additional mascarpone cheese on top before serving. Enjoy every bite!
Notes
For an added touch, serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Consider topping with toasted pecans or candied ginger for extra flavor.
