  • 1 cup heavy cream can substitute with coconut cream for a Halal option
  • 0.75 cups brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
Crust Ingredients

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, and brown sugar. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Add the eggs, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and salt. Whisk until well-blended and creamy.
  4. Carefully pour the mixture into the pre-made pie crust and tap the pie pan gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
Baking
  1. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
  2. Reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue to bake for an additional 40-50 minutes, until the filling is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cooling
  1. Once done, let the pie cool before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

This pie is best served chilled to enhance flavor. Avoid overbaking; remove from oven when just set.
