• 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges if desired. Set aside.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until evenly combined.

3. Add the eggs to the pumpkin mixture and whisk until smooth.

4. Gradually stir in the heavy cream, whole milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until the filling is velvety and well incorporated.

5. Spread the chopped and toasted walnuts evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie crust.

6. Pour the pumpkin filling over the walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

7. Brush the edge of the crust lightly with melted butter to encourage a golden brown finish.

8. Place the pie in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving.

10. Optionally, serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of additional chopped toasted walnuts for garnish.
