Ingredients for the Perfect Pumpkin Pie
Before we get started with the recipe, here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 unbaked pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions for Baking Your Pumpkin Pie
Now that we have our ingredients ready, let’s get to the fun part—baking!
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt. Use a whisk to blend everything together until smooth and creamy.
- Prepare your pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. You can either roll out your homemade crust or fit the store-bought crust into the dish.
- Once the crust is ready, pour the pumpkin filling into the crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for another 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving. This allows the filling to set properly.
- Serve your pie with a dollop of whipped cream, and enjoy the delicious flavors that celebrate the season!
This perfect pumpkin pie is sure to impress friends and family alike. It's rich, creamy, and embodies the flavors of fall. Enjoy baking and sharing this delightful treat!
