Ingredients

• 1 9-inch shell Pre-made pie crust
• 2 cups Pumpkin puree
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 optional for serving Unsweetened whipped cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Prepare the pie crust: If using a frozen pre-made crust, allow it to thaw slightly. Place the crust into a 9-inch pie dish if not already done.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Stir well to combine into a smooth, uniform mixture.

Step 4

In another bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the eggs to the pumpkin mixture, mixing thoroughly.

Step 5

Slowly stir in the heavy cream, whole milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and evenly blended.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake the pie at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 45 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Once baked, carefully remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving, allowing the filling to set properly.

Step 9

Top with unsweetened whipped cream before serving, if desired.

Step 10

Enjoy Mrs. V's Pumpkin Pie with family and friends!
