Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Crust

  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, heavy cream, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and all the ingredients are well incorporated.
  2. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to preheat before baking the pie.
  3. Fill the Pie Crust: Pour the pumpkin filling into the unbaked 9-inch pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula for even baking.
  4. Bake the Pie: Place the pie on the middle rack of the oven and bake at 425°F for 15 minutes. Then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 40 to 50 minutes until the filling is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before serving to allow the filling to firm up.

Notes

  • Use fresh or canned pumpkin puree; avoid pumpkin pie filling as it is already seasoned and sweetened.
  • Adjust spices to taste; some prefer more cinnamon or ginger depending on preference.
  • To prevent a soggy crust, you can blind bake the crust for 10 minutes before adding the filling.
  • Let the pie cool completely before slicing for best texture.
  • Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra special touch.
