Ingredients
  

  • Prebaked 9 inch pie crust
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup granulated sugar 99g
  • ½ cup brown sugar 107g
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch 8g
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 15 oz pumpkin puree about 2 cups (or one 15oz can) (425g)
  • 1 cup heavy cream 227g
  • ¼ cup milk 57g

Instructions
 

  • The oven temperature should be heated to 375 degrees F. If you are making my Flaky Pie Crust, you will reduce the temperature to 375 degrees F after removing the crust from the oven and let it reach 375 degrees before baking the pie..

While the crust is prebaking, prepare the filling:

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs with a whisk.
  • Add the sugars, cornstarch, salt, and spices and whisk until thoroughly combined.
  • Whisk in the pumpkin puree then the cream and milk until thoroughly combined.
  • Pour into warm, prebaked pie crust.
  • Cover the crimped edges of the pie crust with a ring of foil so it doesn’t continue to brown while baking. Be careful not to let it touch the filling.
  • Bake on a baking sheet in a 375 degree F oven until the center is almost set but still wobbly, about 50-60 minutes. Don’t over bake.
  • Remove pie from oven and remove foil ring.
  • Let cool on a baking rack for several hours.
  • Serve with whipped cream.

Notes

  • 2 ½ teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice can be used in place of the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
