Description
This white pumpkin pie is a creamy and subtly spiced twist on the traditional pumpkin pie. It offers a smooth, velvety texture with warm notes of cinnamon and nutmeg, perfect for holidays or cozy occasions.
Ingredients
1 (9-inch) pie crust, unbaked
2 cups white pumpkin puree (or canned pumpkin)
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim and crimp the edges as desired.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the white pumpkin puree, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated.
- Add the vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt, mixing well to combine.
- Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
- Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to let it fully set.
Notes
For a deeper spice profile, add a pinch of ground cloves or allspice.
Use a graham cracker crust for a sweeter, crunchier base.
For a dairy-free option, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream.
Add a splash of bourbon or rum for an adult twist.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; freezing is not recommended.
Let leftovers sit at room temperature 15-20 minutes for softer texture.
Vegan version: use vegan egg replacer and coconut cream instead of eggs and heavy cream.
