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:
- Combine flour and salt in a food processor or bowl.
- Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water until dough comes together.
- Form into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour.
- In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, spices, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually whisk the egg mixture into the pumpkin mixture until smooth.
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Roll out the chilled pie crust on a lightly floured surface.
- Carefully transfer the crust to the pie plate and crimp the edges.
- Pour the pumpkin filling into the crust.
- 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).
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
