Learn how to make delicious Pumpkin Cream Pie. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth, then fold in the pumpkin mixture followed by the whipped cream, ensuring everything is well incorporated.
Pour the filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until set. I often let it chill overnight to deepen the flavors — a tip I picked up from my abuela.
