Ingredients:
- Homemade pie dough or pre-made
- Eggwash
- 15oz can (2 cups) of pumpkin puree
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cup packed light or brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup milk of choice
Directions:
Roll out pie crust:
- Create pie crust or roll out 1 disc of chilled, pre-made pie crust. Roll the dough out into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured work surface. Make sure to turn the dough about a quarter turn after every few rolls.
- Carefully place the rolled dough onto a 9-inch-deep pie dish, tucking it in with your fingers and pressing it tightly onto the dish.
- Fold over the remaining dough into the dish to form a thick rim around the edges and crimp with a fork.
- Brush edges lightly with egg wash mixture
Partially bake pie crust:
- Line pie crust with parchment paper, then fill with pie weight or dried beans.
- Make sure weight is evenly distributed around the pie dish, then bake for 10 minutes.
- Carefully remove parchment paper and pie weight.
- Prick the bottom of the pie crust with a fork to create steam vents and then bake for another 7-8 minutes until the crust is starting to brown.
Making the pumpkin filling:
- Whisk the pumpkin, 3 eggs, and brown sugar together until combined. Add the cornstarch, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, pepper, heavy cream, milk, and whisk until combined.
- Pour pie filling into the warm crust around ¾ of the way.
- Bake pie for 25 minutes then cover crust edges with aluminum foil to prevent it from burning.
- Bake for 30-35 more minutes until the center is almost set—the middle may still be wobbly, but this is normal.
- Transfer the pie to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely for at least 3 hours before garnishing and serving.
