Ingredients
For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
- 3 to 4 tablespoons ice water
For the filling:
- 1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin puree
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1: Prepare the crust
In a large bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Add the butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the ice water, mixing until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2: Roll out the crust
Preheat the oven to 375°F. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle that is 1/8 inch thick. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie dish and trim the edges.
Step 3: Prepare the filling
In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, heavy whipping cream, sugar, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt until smooth.
Step 4: Pour the filling into the crust
Pour the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 5: Bake the pie
Bake the pie for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Let the pie cool completely before serving.
Tips
- For a flakier crust, use cold butter and ice water and handle the dough as little as possible.
- If the edges of the crust start to brown too quickly, cover them with strips of aluminum foil.
- If you don't have heavy whipping cream, you can use half-and-half or milk instead, but the pie won't be as rich and creamy.
- If you want to make the pie ahead of time, you can bake it the day before and store it in the refrigerator. Let it come to room temperature before serving.
Conclusion
This pumpkin pie recipe made with heavy whipping cream is sure to be a hit at your Thanksgiving dinner. With a flaky crust and a creamy filling, it's the perfect dessert to end a festive meal. Follow these simple steps and tips, and you'll have a delicious pie that everyone will love.
