南瓜派是万圣节的传统食品，在充满欢闹和玩乐气氛的节日当晚，看着南瓜灯、来一块南瓜派，真是太有节日的气氛啦！南瓜派的制作其实并不复杂，今天就一起学起来吧！

Ingredients 原料

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened

一包奶油芝士（约230克），常温下软化

2 cups canned pumpkin, mashed

两大杯罐装南瓜，压碎（如果没有罐装的南瓜也无所谓，大家尽可以买新鲜的南瓜回来煮熟、压碎）

1 cup sugar

一大杯糖

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 茶勺盐

1 egg plus 2 egg yolks, slightly beaten

一个鸡蛋、加两个蛋黄，轻轻打散

1 cup half-and-half

一大杯牛奶和奶油的混合物，各一半(half-and-half 是对这种混合物的简称)

1/4 cup melted butter

1/4 杯融化的黄油

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1茶勺香草香精

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 茶勺肉桂粉

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, optional

1/4 茶勺姜粉，备用

1 piece pre-made pie dough

1个做好的饼皮（超市可买）

whipped cream, for topping

鲜奶油，点缀用

Directions 制作步骤

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

1. 预热烤箱至350华氏度(约摄氏180度)

2. Place 1 piece of pre-made pie dough down into a (9-inch) pie pan and press down along the bottom and all sides. Pinch and crimp the edges together to make a pretty pattern. Put the pie shell back into the freezer for 1 hour to firm up. Fit a piece of aluminum foil to cover the inside of the shell completely. Fill the shell up to the edges with pie weights or dried beans (about 2 pounds) and place it in the oven. Bake for 10 minutes, remove the foil and pie weights and bake for another 10 minutes or until the crust is dried out and beginning to color.

2. 将买来的现成饼皮放到一个约9寸的烤盘中，将边缘和底部都压紧。在边缘上切压出漂亮的褶皱。把饼皮冻回冰箱约1个钟头左右、使其紧实。1小时后，用一张铝箔纸（锡箔纸亦可）将饼皮包裹起来，在铝箔纸上放上重物（厨房用语称为pie weights，也可用豆子代替。作用就是使派的饼皮烤出来更成型）放入烤箱。先烤十分钟、再把重物和铝箔纸去掉、烤10分钟，或烤到饼皮变干、上色。

3. For the filling, in a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer. Add the pumpkin and beat until combined. Add the sugar and salt, and beat until combined. Add the eggs mixed with the yolks, half-and-half, and melted butter, and beat until combined. Finally, add the vanilla, cinnamon, and ginger, if using, and beat until incorporated.

3. 烤了饼皮，就来做馅儿吧！在一个大碗里先打散奶油芝士、跟着加入南瓜泥，继续搅拌融合。加入糖和盐搅拌，再加入鸡蛋、蛋黄、奶油牛奶和融化的黄油，一起搅拌均匀。最后再加入香草、肉桂、姜粉一起混合。

4. Pour the filling into the warm prepared pie crust and bake for 50 minutes, or until the center is set. Place the pie on a wire rack and cool to room temperature. Cut into slices and top each piece with a generous amount of whipped cream.

4. 将馅料倒入预先烤制的饼皮里，一起烘焙50分钟。或者你可以试试看派的中心是不是都成型了，来判断是否烤好。烤好之后将派放在铁架上冷却至室温。分块切好、每块浇上奶油！

最后开动吧！祝大家万圣节好胃口！
