  • Author: ushinzomr

Description

This classic pumpkin pie is a must-have for your fall celebrations. It’s rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, all set in a flaky pie crust. Serve it with whipped cream for an unforgettable dessert!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (360ml) pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 unbaked pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • Whipped cream (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, sugar, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
  3. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the unbaked pie crust, spreading it evenly.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  6. Serve chilled or at room temperature with whipped cream on top.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can use homemade pumpkin puree.
  • Make sure to cool the pie completely before slicing for clean edges.
  • You can add a pinch of cloves for an extra spice kick.
