What Can I Bring?
Perfect for: Holiday gatherings, breakfast (pie is always good for breakfast).
Make and take: Bake, chill, cover and carry. Since it starts with a store-bought graham cracker crust, there's no pie plate to retrieve.
Sixth ingredient: This recipe is adapted from one that appeared in the November issue of Vegetarian Times, in a collection of desserts made with just five ingredients (not including salt, pepper or water). Great idea, but we thought the final outcome was missing a little something. So we tested it again and added a sixth ingredient: 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. We think the added complexity is well worth the trouble of digging out a measuring spoon.
Tip: Candied ginger, also called crystallized ginger, is sold in little jars in the spice section
Hands on time: 10 minutes Total time: 1 hour and 10 minutes Serves: 8
Ingredients:
-
4 eggs
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
1 (14-ounce) can fat-free sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Pinch salt
9-inch graham cracker crust
1/4 cup finely chopped candied ginger
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, pumpkin pie spice and a pinch of salt. Pour the filling into the crust and bake for 30 minutes. Sprinkle top with chopped candied ginger and bake 25-30 minutes more, until a knife inserted halfway toward the center comes out clean (the center will still be unset). Refrigerate 3 hours or overnight.

This recipe requires at least 3 hours of chilling time.
