Pumpkin Pie

Ingredients

• one 15-ounce can (425g) pumpkin puree*
• 3 large eggs
• 1 and 1/4 cups (250g) packed light or dark brown sugar
• 1 Tablespoon (8g) cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger*
• 1/4 teaspoon ground or freshly grated nutmeg*
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves*
• 1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
• 1/4 cup (60ml) milk

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Par-bake the crust for 10 minutes of desired
• Make the pumpkin pie filling: Whisk the pumpkin, 3 eggs, and brown sugar together until combined. Add the cornstarch, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, pepper, heavy cream, and milk. Vigorously whisk until everything is combined.
• Pour pumpkin pie filling into the warm crust. Only fill the crust about 3/4 of the way up.
• Bake the pie until the center is almost set, about 55-60 minutes give or take. A small part of the center will be wobbly—that’s ok. After 25 minutes of baking, be sure to cover the edges of the crust with aluminum foil or use a pie crust shield to prevent the edges from getting too brown. Check for doneness at minute 50, and then 55, and then 60, etc.
• Once done, transfer the pie to a wire rack and allow to cool completely for at least 3 hours before garnishing and serving.
• Serve with whip cream or ice cream.
