Cinnamon Basil and Honey Pumpkin Pie Recipe Video
This year I am making a new fresh Cinnamon Basil Pumpkin Pie. This is not your traditional Pumpkin Pie.
Replacing ground cinnamon with Cinnamon Basil and adding honey, makes this a fresh, rich tasting, pumpkin pie. So if you are not a fan of pumpkin pie, please try this fresh Cinnamon Basil Pumpkin Pie!
Ingredients
1 medium Pumpkin
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
9″ single deep dish pie crust
1/2 teaspoon ground Ginger
1 tablespoon fresh Cinnamon Basil
1 teaspoon Salt
4 Eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup Honey, warmed slightly
1/2 cup Milk
1/2 cup heavy Cream
Directions
Cut the top off the pumpkin, slice the pumpkin in half.
Make sure the outer layer of the pumpkin is washed.
Remove the seeds from the inside of the pumpkin by scraping the inside with a spoon. Make sure all the seeds are removed from it.
Spray the inside and the edges of the pumpkin with olive oil. Spray the olive oil on both the slices of the pumpkin. Turn both the pieces upside down and Place on a cookie sheet. Bake at 325 degrees F until a fork or knife can go through the shell easily.
Once the pumpkin is out of the oven, scrape out the pumpkin from its shell and put it in a large bowl.
Puree the Cinnamon Basil leaves with milk in a container and set aside. You can use a blender or a food processor.
While you are beating the scraped out pumpkin, go ahead and add spices and salt. Turn off the beater; add a slightly beaten egg. Start blending it all again and add a cup of warm honey, milk with the cinnamon basil. Beat the whole mixture until smooth.
Pour the mixture into a deep dish pie shell. Fill it to the rim, you can use a pie guard over the crust or foil so that it will not burn the edges of the pie crust.
Bake in the oven at 350 degrees F for approximately 30 – 45 minutes or until a knife inserted in the filling comes out clean.
