Ingredients
- 1 (9 inch) single crust homemade pie crust
3 large eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1 (15oz) can of pure pumpkin puree or 2 cups homemade pumpkin puree
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Homemade whipped cream, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare your pie crust by rolling it out and fitting it into a 9-inch pie dish. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, pumpkin puree, heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and sea salt until smooth.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
Bake at 350°F (177°C) for 60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Top with homemade whipped cream just before serving.
Notes
- Pre-bake the crust for 10 minutes to prevent sogginess.
- Use coconut cream as a dairy-free substitute for heavy cream.
- Sweet potato or butternut squash puree can replace pumpkin puree.
- Allow pie to cool completely before slicing for best texture.
