Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie pan and set aside.
To prepare the crust, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and creamy. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Add the flour and salt to the butter mixture and stir until a dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into the greased pie pan, covering the bottom and sides. Prick the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling, then bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
For the filling, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix until well combined.
Whisk in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the heavy cream and milk until the filling is smooth.
Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust and spread evenly.
To make the streusel topping, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Cut in the cold cubed butter with a fork or pastry cutter until crumbly. Stir in the chopped pecans or walnuts, if using.
Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the pumpkin filling.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Allow the pie to cool completely before serving. Optionally, serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
