Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (pre-made or homemade)
- 2 cups Fresh pumpkin
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C).
Peel, seed, and dice the fresh pumpkin into 1/2-inch chunks.
Spread the pumpkin chunks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for 20 minutes, or until tender. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted pumpkin chunks, heavy cream, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well, but leave some small pumpkin chunks for texture.
Roll out the pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim and crimp the edges as desired.
Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set but slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours before serving.
Serve as is or topped with whipped cream for extra indulgence.
