Ingredients:

  • 1 ¼ cups (150g) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • ½ teaspoon (3g) salt
  • ½ cup (113g/1 stick) unsalted butter, very cold, cut into cubes
  • 3-5 tablespoons (45-75ml) ice water
  • 1 (15-ounce/425g) can pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon (6g) ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon (3g) ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon (1.5g) ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon (1.5g) ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon (1.5g) salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Combine flour and salt in a food processor or bowl.
  2. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add ice water until dough comes together.
  4. Form into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, spices, and salt.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, milk, and vanilla extract.
  7. Gradually whisk the egg mixture into the pumpkin mixture until smooth.
  8. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  9. Roll out the chilled pie crust on a lightly floured surface.
  10. Carefully transfer the crust to the pie plate and crimp the edges.
  11. Pour the pumpkin filling into the crust.
  12. Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C), then reduce heat to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 35-45 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. (Insert a knife close to center - it should come out nearly clean).
  13. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
