Pumpkin Pie Filling for Mexico

Pumpkin pie is a classic dessert that is enjoyed all over the world. But did you know that there is a Mexican version of pumpkin pie? This version is made with different ingredients and has a unique flavor that is sure to please.

Ingredients:

• 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree

• 1 cup sugar

• 1/2 cup evaporated milk

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

• 2 eggs

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients.

3. Pour filling into a prepared pie crust.

4. Bake in preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until filling is set.

5. Let cool completely before serving.

Tips and Tricks:

• For a richer flavor, use evaporated milk instead of regular milk.

• To make a lattice crust, roll out half of the pie dough into a 12-inch circle. Place the dough in a 9-inch pie plate and trim the edges. Roll out the remaining dough into a 10-inch circle. Cut the dough into 1/2-inch strips. Use the strips to create a lattice pattern over the pie filling.

• To make a crumb crust, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 cup butter in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press the crumbs into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate.

• To prevent the crust from getting soggy, line the pie plate with parchment paper before adding the crust.

• To prevent the filling from bubbling over, place a piece of foil over the pie crust before baking.

• Let the pie cool completely before serving.

Story:

I first came across Mexican pumpkin pie when I was traveling in Mexico City. I was staying in a small hotel, and one night I went out for dinner at a local restaurant. I ordered the pumpkin pie as my dessert, and I was immediately blown away by how delicious it was. The filling was so creamy and flavorful, and the crust was perfectly flaky. I had never had anything like it before.

I asked the waiter about the pumpkin pie, and he told me that it was a traditional Mexican dessert. He said that it was often served during the holidays, but that it could also be enjoyed year-round.

I was so impressed with the pumpkin pie that I decided to try making it at home when I got back to the United States. I found a recipe online and followed it closely. The results were amazing! The pumpkin pie was just as good as it had been in Mexico City.

I've been making Mexican pumpkin pie ever since, and it's quickly become one of my favorite desserts. It's so easy to make, and it's always a hit with my family and friends. If you're looking for a delicious and authentic Mexican dessert, I highly recommend giving Mexican pumpkin pie a try!
