Ingredients

• 2 cups Pumpkin purée (canned or fresh)
• 3/4 cup Dark brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Molasses
• 3/4 cup Heavy cream
• 1/3 cup Whole milk
• 2 whole Large eggs
• 1 whole Large egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1 9-inch crust Prepared pie crust (homemade or store-bought)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place your prepared 9-inch pie crust into a pie pan and crimp the edges as desired. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, dark brown sugar, and molasses until smooth and fully combined.

Step 3

Add the heavy cream and whole milk to the mixture and whisk until smooth.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, lightly beat the eggs and egg yolk. Add the beaten eggs to the pumpkin mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Stir in the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Mix until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the filling.

Step 6

Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Bake the pie in the preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes. Then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 40 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges but still slightly wobbly in the center when shaken gently.

Step 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.

Step 9

Once fully cooled, refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours (or overnight) before serving to enhance the flavors and achieve the perfect texture.

Step 10

Serve chilled with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce, if desired.
