Ingredients

1 9-inch pie crust

1 3/4 cups pumpkin purée

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 large eggs

3/4 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If using store-bought crust, thaw as directed. Press into a 9-inch pie dish and chill.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin purée, both sugars, eggs, cream, and all spices including salt. Mix until smooth.

3. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust and smooth the top.

4. Bake for 50–60 minutes. The center should jiggle slightly when done. Shield crust with foil if browning too quickly.

5. Let pie cool on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set completely.

6. Serve chilled or slightly warm with whipped cream and cinnamon dusting.

Notes

Always use pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling, for best texture and control of sweetness.

Let the pie chill fully before slicing to achieve perfect clean slices.

For a dairy-free twist, substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk.
