This homemade pumpkin pie recipe is a flaky crust with a smooth and creamy pumpkin filling, all baked to perfection. Pumpkin pie is a classic dessert during the fall months, and this version is the best I've ever had!

Ingredients

  • 1 pie crust for a 9 inch pan, homemade or store bought
  • 1 15 ounce can pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (freshly grated is best)
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
  • whipped cream for serving optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the pie crust in a 9 inch pie pan. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Place the pumpkin puree in a food processor along with the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and cloves. Pulse to combine.
  3. Add eggs 1 at a time, pulsing after each addition. Gradually add the cream in a thin stream, processing just until blended. Process 5 seconds longer.
  4. Pour the filling into the crust. Place the pie on a sheet pan.
  5. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
  6. Bake the pie for an additional 40-50 minutes or until center is just set and a toothpick inserted into the filling comes out clean.
  7. Cool the pie on a rack. Cut into slices and top with whipped cream if desired, or refrigerate the pie for later use.

Notes

  • I typically use a frozen pre-made pie crust for this recipe. It literally saves hours of prep time. 
  • Using a food processor is the key to getting a silky smooth filling. If you don't own a food processor, a blender will also work just fine.
  • Insert a toothpick to see if the filling is set after the pie bakes. A clean toothpick means the filling is set.
