Description
If you love baking with pumpkin pie filling but not necessarily always making a pumpkin pie, having pumpkin pie filling on hand might be your perfect solution. I love it for pumpkin brownies, pumpkin hand pies, and mini pumpkin pies. Double or triple it if you’re making a bunch of pies for Thanksgiving.
Ingredients
- 15 oz canned pumpkin (426 g)
- 1 cup half and half (236 mL) or full fat coconut milk
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (106 g)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 Tablespoon whiskey or 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 teaspoons chai spice blend, pumpkin pie spice, apple pie spice, or 1 teaspoon cinnamon + 1 teaspoon ginger
Instructions
-
- Whisk the eggs, half and half, sugar, and whiskey until smooth. Alternatively, you can whiz the ingredients in a blender.
- Whisk the milk mix into the spices and pumpkin to make a smooth filling.
- Whisk the eggs, half and half, sugar, and whiskey until smooth. Alternatively, you can whiz the ingredients in a blender.
Use up the filling within two days. If you want to store the filling for longer, take out the eggs. Without the eggs, you can keep the filling in the fridge for a week. Add the eggs in when you’re ready to bake.
- If you want to really really work ahead, you can freeze the filling in a plastic bag up to 3 months. Just thaw when you’re ready to bake and whisk in the eggs.
Notes
Choose your spices: This is one time I actually prefer the chai spice blend over the pumpkin pie spice. The flavor of the cardamom and star anise is a little more complicated and interesting. Give it a try and see what you think. The pumpkin pie spice is also delicious as is the cinnamon and ginger blend.
Easy pumpkin creamer: omit the eggs and the sugar if you prefer, and you have some pretty incredible pumpkin spice creamer.
