Chai Latte Pumpkin Pie

Ulric Williams

Report

My Chai Latte Pumpkin Pie is a fun twist on the classic pumpkin pie. It's full of all the same aromatic spices found in a beloved chai latte, like cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and even a touch of black pepper (trust me on this!). The pie crust is buttery and flaky, and the filling is rich and silky smooth thanks to my pumpkin pie secret ingredient: cream cheese. You'll love how easy this is to make for the holidays or a cozy Autumn weekend.

Instructions

Make my homemade pie dough recipe, (just the single crust), following the instructions to partially bake the pie crust. Allow the crust to cool for a bit before you fill it with the pumpkin pie filling. You can also make your favorite pie dough recipe or use store-bought. I use a 9-inch pie pan, metal or ceramic work well.
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Add the cream cheese to a food processor and process until smooth and creamy, ~1 minute. (You can also make this filling in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment).
Add the pumpkin puree and melted butter and blitz again.
Add the eggs and combine.
Then add the remaining ingredients: the sugars, cornstarch, and spices. Blend until combined, scraping down the edges with a rubber spatula as needed.
Optional: Pass the pumpkin pie mixture through a sieve. This helps create an ultra smooth pie filling.
Pour the pumpkin pie filling into the par-baked crust. Use a pie crust shield to prevent the crust from burning. Bake at 425°F for for 15 minutes. Without taking the pie out of the oven, reduce the temperature to 350°F and bake for 30-40 minutes longer, or until the pie is puffed up in the center and jiggles slightly in the middle.
Remove from the oven and cool at room temperature on a wire rack for 1-2 hours. Then place it in the fridge for 2-4 hours or up to 5 days, covering it if chilling for an extended time.
For the whipped cream: Pro tip: stick the mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 20-30 minutes to help the cream stay super cold!
Beat the cold heavy cream, sugar, and flavoring of choice in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on medium speed for 2 minutes. Increase the speed and beat again for ~1-2 minutes or until medium peaks form. This process happens quickly, so do not walk away! Use straight away on your pie or refrigerate.
Slice the pumpkin pie and serve with whipped cream! Enjoy.

Notes

Make Ahead: The great thing about pie is you can make the entire pie the day before, allow it to come to room temperature, and then store it in the refrigerator until you need it. You can also prepare the pie crust and filling the day before and store them separately in the refrigerator until ready to bake the next day.
Storage: This pumpkin pie should be refrigerated after sitting out at room temperature for 2 hours. Any leftovers you have will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.
