Ingredients
For Pie:
- 1 9-inch pie dough prepared or homemade
- 2 cups (15 oz) can pumpkin puree or 2 cups freshly smoked pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk, minus 2 tablespoons for whipping cream
- 1/2 cup full fat sour cream
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground clove
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice not processed lemon juice
- Very little pinch of sea salt
- For Maple Whipped Cream:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
Instructions
PREPARE THE GRILL
Fill a smoker box with about 2 cups of Western Maple BBQ Smoking Chips. Place the smoker box above the hottest grill grate or as stated in grill’s instruction manual.
Place a baking stone or inverted rimmed baking pan over the indirect heat source.
Heat the gas grill to 375°F degrees then adjust burners for indirect heat.
PREPARE THE PIE
Use a rolling-pen to prepare an 11-inch pie dough circle. Transfer the dough to a greased 9-inch pie pan, gently pressing the dough to the bottom of the pie pan. Fold the dough edges under and crimp with your fingers or a fork.
In a food processor, combine pumpkin, eggs, sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, lemon juice, vanilla extract, brown sugar, ground spices, and salt; process for 2 minutes.
Pour the pumpkin pie filling into the prepared pie shell, and place on top of the baking stone or inverted baking pan.
BAKE THE PIE
Place the pie into the center of the indirect heat, and partially bake 20 mintues. After 20 minutes If the pie crust edge is getting brown, cover just the crust with a pie crust shield or foil. Do not cover the entire pie.
Bake pie for an additional 20 to 25 minutes or until the center is at least 175°F on your meat thermometer! My pie reached about 190°F and was still wonderfully creamy inside.
TO SERVE
Cool for at least an hour on the counter.
Transfer pie to the refrigerator to chill before adding the decorative whipped cream on top.
Once the pie has completely cooled slice and serve.
MAKE MAPLE WHIPPED CREAM
In a stand-up electric mixer, using the whisk attachment combine the heavy cream and condensed milk.
Whip the sweetened cream on low then gradually increase the speed, about 1 minute. Add the maple syrup and whip on high until billowing.
Transfer the maple whipped cream to a piping bag with a decorative tip or simply chill in a bowl in the refrigerator. Of course the maple whipped cream can simply be dolloped on top of the pumpkin pie with a spoon.
NOTES:
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Freshly cooked smoked pumpkin can be exchanged for canned pumpkin.
Pumpkin Pie spice can be used instead of my spice blend.
