Prep Time: 30 min | Cook Time: 1 hr | Total Time: 1 hr 30 min

Ingredients:

  • 1 unbaked pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin purée
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ⅛ tsp ground cloves or allspice
  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Prep Crust: Preheat oven to 425°F. Roll pie crust into a 9½-inch deep-dish pan; chill 30 mins.
  2. Blind Bake: Line crust with parchment paper, add pie weights, bake 12-15 mins. Remove weights, bake additional 5 mins.
  3. Prepare Filling: Blend pumpkin purée, sugars, salt, and spices until smooth and glossy.
  4. Cook Filling: Heat pumpkin mixture in saucepan over medium-high heat for about 5 mins, stirring until fragrant and steamy.
  5. Finish Filling: Whisk milk, cream, eggs (temper eggs first), and vanilla into warm pumpkin mixture.
  6. Bake Pie: Reduce oven to 375°F. Pour warm filling into warm crust. Bake 50-60 mins until slightly puffed and jiggly in center.
  7. Cool & Serve: Cool pie completely before serving—pie will set further as it cools.

Pro Tips:

  • Pureeing the pumpkin purée ensures a silky-smooth filling.
  • Blind baking prevents a soggy crust.
  • Perfect make-ahead dessert for stress-free holidays.
