Instructions
1
2
Add fats
Grate frozen butter into the bowl, or cut it into small pieces. Add chilled shortening and use a pastry blender or fork to cut the fats into the flour until well combined and resembles coarse crumbs.
3
Prepare dough
Add ice water a spoonful at a time, mixing until the dough begins to come together. Be careful not to over mix, and you may not need all of the water.
4
Mold the dough into a ball
Gently mold the dough into a ball, then divide it into 2 equal pieces. Press each piece gently with your hands into a flat disk.
5
Refrigerate
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for 2 hours, or freeze for 30 minutes.
6
Roll our crust
Dampen a large towel or cloth and lay it flat on your countertop. Place a large piece of parchment paper over it. Lightly flour both sides of the pie dough disc and set it on the parchment paper. Use your rolling pin to gently press the pie dough out into a large circle. Always start at the center of the crust, and work outwards. You want your dough to be thin, and about ½ inch larger then the diameter of your pie dish.
7
Place pie pan
Gently turn the dough into your pie dish and remove the parchment paper. Settle it smoothly into the bottom and sides of the pan. Trim and crimp the edges of the crust.
8
For pie- Preheat oven
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
9
Create pumpkin mixture
In a large bowl beat the eggs and pumpkin together. In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, salt, ginger and cloves, and add to pumpkin mixture.
10
Pour mixture
Gradually stir in the evaporated milk. Carefully pour mixture into unbaked pie shell.
11
Bake the pie
Bake at 425 degrees F for for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350° F; bake for 40 to 50 minutes longer, or until the pie is set. Check for doneness by giving the pie a gentle wiggle. The center may jiggle just a tiny bit. It will continue to set up as it cools. Or, it is done when a sharp knife inserted in center comes out clean.
12
Cool and serve
Cool completely on a wire cooling rack. Serve immediately with whipped cream and caramel pecan topping, if desired.

Health Goals Suitability
Weight Loss
At 204.2 kcal per serving, this can fit into a weight loss diet with mindful portion control. Pair with a fiber-rich salad to improve satiety.
Diabetes
Moderate glycemic index (GI: 65). Consider swapping refined ingredients with whole grain alternatives. Adding a fiber-rich side dish can help moderate the blood sugar response.
Muscle Gain
Low protein content (5.6g per serving) — not sufficient alone for muscle building. Combine with high-protein sides like paneer, eggs, chicken, dal, or a protein shake to reach 25-30g protein per meal.
Heart Health
Low cholesterol (42.3mg) and low saturated fat (4.3g) make this heart-friendly. Anti-inflammatory ingredients benefit overall heart health. Low sodium content is ideal for blood pressure management.
PCOS
Moderate-to-high GI (65) can spike insulin — Women with PCOS should pair this with fiber-rich vegetables and a protein source to improve the insulin response. Consider replacing refined ingredients with whole grains or millets.
Thyroid
No goitrogenic ingredients — generally safe for thyroid conditions. The spices aid digestion, which can be sluggish in hypothyroidism.
Portion Guidance
Weight Loss
1 Piece (~98.1g) or slightly less. Pair with a high-fiber side like cucumber raita or salad to feel full on fewer kcal.
Muscle Gain
1 Piece (~98.1g) plus a protein-rich addition (100g paneer, 2 eggs, or 1 cup dal) to hit 25-30g protein per meal.
Diabetes
1 Piece (~98.1g). Pair with whole wheat roti (not rice) to lower glycemic load. Eat protein and fiber portions first, carbs last.
General
1 Piece (~98.1g) provides a balanced portion. Adjust based on your daily kcal target — track accurately in the Hint app.
Recipe Modifications
Lower fat
Use low-fat paneer or reduce ghee/butter by half. Switch to a non-stick pan to minimize oil.
Boost protein
Increase the protein portion (chicken/fish/eggs) by 50g, or serve with a side of Greek yogurt.
Lower glycemic load
Replace refined flour (maida) with whole wheat atta, or swap white rice with brown rice or millets like jowar/bajra.
Make diabetes-friendly
Replace potato with cauliflower or bottle gourd. Add a squeeze of lemon — the acidity lowers glycemic response.
Meal prep friendly
Pumpkin Pie stores well for 2-3 days refrigerated. Reheat on stovetop for best texture. Prepare ingredients in advance for quick weeknight cooking.
Common Mistakes
Using too much oil or ghee
Why it matters: Excess oil can double the calorie content without adding nutritional value.
Fix: Measure oil with a tablespoon instead of pouring freely. 1 tbsp = 120 kcal.
Not measuring serving size
Why it matters: The nutrition values are for 1 standard serving. Eating 2-3x the serving means 2-3x the kcal (408.5-612.7 kcal).
Fix: Use the Hint app to scan and log the exact portion you eat for accurate tracking.
Pairing with another high-GI food
Why it matters: Eating rice with another starchy dish doubles the glycemic load, causing sharp blood sugar spikes.
Fix: Choose one carb source per meal. Pair with roti instead of rice, or add a protein-rich side.
