Ingredients

• 15 ounces Pumpkin puree
• 3/4 cup Brown sugar
• 1/4 cup Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1/2 cup Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 9-inch Prepared pie crust

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Position the oven rack in the lower third of the oven to prevent the pie crust from over-browning.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree and eggs until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually whisk the sugar and spice mixture into the pumpkin mixture, ensuring there are no lumps.

Step 5

Slowly add the heavy cream, whole milk, and vanilla extract to the pumpkin mixture. Whisk until the filling is smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Place the prepared 9-inch pie crust into a pie dish and crimp the edges as desired.

Step 7

Pour the pumpkin filling into the pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Cover the edges of the pie crust with a pie shield or aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.

Step 9

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until the center is almost set but still slightly wobbly when shaken.

Step 10

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a cooling rack for at least 2 hours before slicing.

Step 11

Serve plain or with a dollop of whipped cream for the perfect fall dessert.
