Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh pumpkin puree
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1.25 cups Heavy cream
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 piece Unbaked 9-inch pie crust
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
If using a fresh pumpkin, cut it in half, remove the seeds, and bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 45 minutes, or until tender. Scoop out the flesh and blend to make a smooth puree.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the fresh pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until fully combined.
Beat the eggs in a small bowl, then add them to the pumpkin mixture and whisk until smooth.
Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract, mixing until the filling is well-incorporated.
Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan. Pour the pumpkin filling into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Cover the edges of the pie crust with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 40 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. This will take approximately 2 hours.
Serve the pie at room temperature or slightly chilled with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
