Ingredients
  • Ingredients for the Pie:
  • 1 pre-made pie crust (or homemade if preferred)
  • 1 can pumpkin puree (15 oz)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Ingredients for the Whipped Cream:
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. Prepare the Pie Crust
  2. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Flute the edges if desired. Place the pie dish in the fridge while preparing the filling.
  3. Make the Pumpkin Filling
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt until smooth and well combined.
  5. Bake the Pie
  6. Pour the filling into the chilled pie crust. Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 35-40 minutes until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
  7. Cool the Pie
  8. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. The filling will continue to set as it cools.
  9. Make the Whipped Cream
  10. In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Keep the whipped cream refrigerated until ready to serve.
  11. Serve and Garnish
  12. Slice the pumpkin pie and top each slice with a generous dollop of homemade whipped cream. Optionally, sprinkle a bit of cinnamon or nutmeg on the whipped cream for garnish.
