Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 prepared 9-inch pie crust
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Roll out your prepared pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Chill it in the refrigerator to maintain a flaky texture while you prepare the filling.
  2. Whip the Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set aside carefully to preserve its airy texture.
  3. Mix Pumpkin and Spices: In another bowl, combine pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, egg yolks, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat the mixture until smooth and well incorporated.
  4. Fold in the Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin-spice mixture, taking care to maintain the light and airy texture for a creamy pie filling.
  5. Assemble and Chill: Pour the combined filling into the chilled pie crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours until the filling is firm and set.

Notes

  • Use full-fat pumpkin puree and heavy cream for the richest texture and flavor.
  • Fold whipped cream gently to keep the filling light and fluffy.
  • Chill the pie crust thoroughly before filling to prevent sogginess.
  • Freshly ground spices elevate the aroma and flavor.
  • Allow sufficient chilling time (at least 4 hours, ideally overnight) for best texture.
