Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground nutmeg
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for traditional baking or prepare your slow cooker by greasing the bottom.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, heavy cream, eggs, spices, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well blended.
  3. Roll out your pie crust (if using homemade) and place it in a pie dish. Crimp the edges for a nice presentation.
  4. Pour the pumpkin filling into the crust, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 40-50 minutes, or until the filling is set. If using a slow cooker, cover and cook on low for about 4 hours.
  6. Check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
  7. Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing to let the filling set properly.

Notes

For a shortcut, use a pre-made pie crust. Adjust spices according to your taste.
