Ingredients

• 2 cups Fresh pumpkin puree
• 3/4 cup Granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup Brown sugar (light or dark, packed)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 3/4 cup Heavy cream
• 1/4 cup Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 9-inch crust Homemade pie crust (prepared and chilled)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Prepare your homemade pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges and crimp them as desired, then place in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 4

Add the pumpkin puree to the sugar-spice mixture and stir until smooth.

Step 5

Beat the eggs in a small bowl, then add them to the pumpkin mixture. Stir well to incorporate.

Step 6

Gradually mix in the heavy cream, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until the filling is smooth and well-combined.

Step 7

Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crust, smoothing out the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake the pie on the center rack of the oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the filling is mostly set and only slightly jiggles in the center when the pie dish is gently shaken.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. This will take at least 2 hours.

Step 10

Once cooled, serve the pumpkin pie as-is or with a dollop of whipped cream. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
