Chef John's Pumpkin Pie

Ingredients

  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
  • 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Start by preparing the pie crust. If you’re using store-bought, go ahead and place it in a pie dish. If you prefer homemade, roll out your dough and fit it into the dish, crimping the edges for decoration.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Mix well to blend the spices into the pumpkin.
  4. Add the eggs to the pumpkin mixture and beat well until everything is well incorporated.
  5. Slowly stir in the heavy cream, combining until the filling is smooth and creamy.
  6. Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack. It can be enjoyed warm or cold, but it’s even better when chilled in the refrigerator.

Once it is cooled, slice the pumpkin pie, serve with a dollop of whipped cream, and enjoy! Whether you are sharing it at a family dinner or hosting friends, this Chef John’s Pumpkin Pie is bound to become a favorite. Happy baking!
