Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 prepared 9-inch crust pie crust
- 1.5 cups pumpkin puree
- 1.25 cups heavy cream
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the prepared pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges as desired. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Add the eggs to the mixture, one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition.
Stir in the ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and salt until the spices are evenly distributed.
Pour the pumpkin custard filling into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Place the pie on the center rack of the oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the custard is set but slightly jiggles in the center when gently shaken.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. This allows the custard to set further.
Once cooled, refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours before serving for best texture and flavor.
Serve chilled or at room temperature with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
