This Creamy Pumpkin Pie is a classic dessert that captures the essence of fall with its rich, velvety texture and warm spices. Made with pureed pumpkin, cream, and a blend of aromatic spices, this pie isn’t only delicious but also incredibly easy to prepare. Served with a dollop of whipped cream, it’s the perfect ending to any holiday meal or a cozy gathering with friends and family.
The secret to this pie’s creaminess lies in the use of both evaporated milk and heavy cream, creating a decadent filling that melts in your mouth. This recipe allows you to enjoy the comforting flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, while the buttery pie crust provides the perfect balance. Whether it’s Thanksgiving or just a chilly day, this Creamy Pumpkin Pie will surely be a crowd-pleaser.
Ingredients:
- 1 unbaked pie crust
- 1 can (15 oz) pure pumpkin puree
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Whipped cream (for serving)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place your unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, and press it firmly against the sides. Use a fork to poke a few holes in the bottom to prevent bubbling during baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, evaporated milk, sugar, and eggs until smooth. Confirm all ingredients are well combined to achieve a creamy consistency.
- Add the cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt to the pumpkin mixture. Stir well to incorporate the spices evenly throughout the filling for a delightful flavor profile.
- Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crust, ensuring it’s evenly distributed. Carefully place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C).
- After 15 minutes, 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 in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour before slicing. Serve with a generous dollop of whipped cream on top for an extra touch of indulgence.
Extra Tips:
To enhance the flavors of your pumpkin pie, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or a tablespoon of bourbon to the filling. If you prefer a spiced crust, you can mix a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg into the pie crust before baking. For a decorative touch, use a pie crust cutter to create beautiful shapes for the edges or top of the pie.
Enjoy this seasonal favorite with friends and family!
