Pumpkin Cream Pie - Love to be in the Kitchen

Ingredients:

  • 1 pre-made pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out your pre-made pie crust and fit it into your pie dish. Prick the bottom with a fork and bake it in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the pumpkin mixture, mixing until smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour the pumpkin filling into the cooled pie crust, smoothing it out evenly. Bake for an additional 30-35 minutes until the filling is set. Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool to room temperature.
  5. While the pie cools, prepare the whipped cream topping. In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  6. Once the pie has completely cooled, spread the whipped cream generously over the pumpkin filling, creating a fluffy and inviting layer of cream.
  7. Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
  8. Slice and serve your delightful Pumpkin Cream Pie, garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra touch.

Indulge in every bite of this creamy spiced pie, and enjoy the compliments from your friends and family. Happy baking!
