This pumpkin custard pie has delicious flavor, thanks to caramelized pumpkin puree and fall spices. Baking the hot filling in a chilled crust produces a smooth and shiny, good-textured custard and a well-baked crust for this holiday dessert. Works well with crumb crusts too, such as graham cracker or gingersnap.

Ingredients

  • 1.75 cups pumpkin puree
  • 0.75 cups white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 0.5 cups milk
  • 2 large eggs , beaten
  • 1 frozen unbaked pie crust , 9 inch

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Place pumpkin puree in a saucepan over medium-high heat; cook and stir until slightly dry and caramelized, 10 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat.

  3. 3

    Stir sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and salt into the caramelized pumpkin until well combined. Mix in cream, milk, and eggs until smooth. Pour into the cold pie crust.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown and filling is mostly set except for a small spot in the center that jiggles when the pie is shaken slightly, 25 to 55 minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on wire rack before cutting.
