As the leaves turn and the air grows crisp, the aroma of freshly roasted coffee mingles with the scent of spices at Ember Coffee. Here in Big Lake, Minnesota, we've perfected a unique twist on the classic pumpkin pie by infusing it with our decadent Pumpkin Spice coffee. This dessert not only celebrates the flavors of fall but also our commitment to craftsmanship and quality.
Coffee-Infused Pumpkin Pie
Ingredients:
- 1 9-inch unbaked pie crust
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup Ember Coffee's Pumpkin Spice coffee, brewed strong
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Whipped cream, for serving
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare Coffee-Infused Cream: In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream and brewed Pumpkin Spice coffee. Heat gently until just simmering, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Mix the Filling: In a bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Gradually stir in the coffee-infused cream.
- Assemble the Pie: Pour the pumpkin mixture into the unbaked pie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake: Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let the pie cool completely. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
