Ingredients:
- 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 egg whites
- 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie shell
Streusel Topping:
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons chilled butter
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions:
Step 1:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, and egg yolks. Stir in 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
Step 3:
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the pumpkin mixture until fully combined. Pour this filling into the unbaked pie shell.
Step 4:
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the streusel topping by mixing the flour, brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in the cold butter using a fork or pastry blender until the mixture becomes crumbly. Add the chopped walnuts and mix until well combined.
Step 5:
After the initial 15-minute bake, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Sprinkle the streusel topping over the pie and continue baking for an additional 40 minutes, or until the pie is set and the top is golden brown.
