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
- 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.
- Whip the Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set aside carefully to preserve its airy texture.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
