Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch crust Pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
- 2 cups Pumpkin purée
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Dark brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 whole Large eggs
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the oven rack in the lower third to ensure even baking.
Roll out the pie crust to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Press it gently into the pan, trim the edges, and flute or crimp as desired. Chill the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin purée, granulated sugar, and dark brown sugar. Whisk until smooth and well blended.
Add the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt to the pumpkin mixture. Mix thoroughly to evenly disperse the spices.
Beat the eggs in a separate small bowl, then add them to the pumpkin mixture. Stir until uniformly incorporated.
Gradually mix in the heavy cream, milk, and vanilla extract, stirring until the filling is silky and smooth.
Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crust. Lightly tap the pie pan on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Bake the pie at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 45 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 can take about 2-3 hours.
Slice and serve at room temperature or chilled. Optionally, top with whipped cream before serving.
