Ingredients
1 3/4 cups (425g) pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
1/2 cup (120ml) milk
3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground allspice (optional)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 pre-made or homemade pie crust 🥧
Directions
- Preheat Oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the Pie Crust: Roll out the pie dough and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges and crimp them to your liking. Refrigerate until ready to fill.
- Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, and milk until smooth. Add brown sugar, eggs, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, allspice (if using), and vanilla. Whisk until well combined and creamy.
- Fill the Crust: Pour the filling into the chilled pie crust and smooth the top.
- Bake: Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 40-50 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
- Cool Completely: Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to set. This step is key for perfect slices!
- Serve and Enjoy! Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired. 🍂✨
Pro Tips:
- Use a pie shield or foil to cover the edges if they start to brown too quickly.
- Fresh spices make a big difference in flavor, so try to use high-quality spices.
