Smoked Pumpkin Pie Recipe

Pumpkin pie is without a doubt a staple of Halloween and the fall season. 
You can of course cook this one in an oven, but I like the little added flavor that smoking it brings. The smoke adds an extra element of nuttiness to this recipe and gives it a little extra flavor that your guests will enjoy.

Equipment

  • 1 Pellet Smoker
  • 1 roll parchment paper
  • 1 10-inch disposable pie tin

Ingredients

  • 1 10 inch pie dough purchased or made from scratch
  • 15 ounces canned pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 12 ounces canned evaporated milk

Instructions

  • Lay out pie base in, in a pie tin and set aside before preheating your smoker to 425F. Add a mild smoking wood.
  • In a large bowl, thoroughly mix pumpkin puree, sugar, cinnamon, Kosher salt, ginger, cloves, eggs and evaporated milk.
  • Pour filling into the pie dish before adding to your smoker.
  • Smoke for 15 minutes at 425F before reducing to 350F for 45 minutes. Keep a close eye on your pie, to ensure it doesn’t get too dark or over smoke.
  • Remove from heat and let pie rest for 30 minutes.
  • Serve with a simple whipped cream or ice cream. 

Notes

To add your extra Halloween kick, cut out your favorite pumpkin stencil in parchment paper. I made mine into a traditional jack-o-lantern style stencil but make whatever design you want!
Place your stencil on the pie and dust it with powdered sugar. Remove the stencil and see the fun Halloween design!!
