Learn how to make delicious Pumpkin Cream Pie. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Gathering your ingredients is always the first step in any culinary adventure, and this Pumpkin Cream Pie is no different. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (9-inch)
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • A pinch of salt

If you’re feeling adventurous, you can swap the spices for a tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice. And if you’re out of powdered sugar, just toss granulated sugar in a blender for a quick fix!

Instructions

Let’s dive into the heart of the recipe. Here’s how you can whip up this comforting pie:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated and smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form. This should take about 3-4 minutes of vigorous whisking or with the help of a hand mixer.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture. Take your time to ensure the filling is light and airy.
  4. Spoon the pumpkin cream filling into the pre-made graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  5. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is set. If you’re in a rush (as I often am), pop it in the freezer for about an hour for a quicker set.
  6. Once set, slice and serve with an extra dollop of whipped cream if desired.

Remember, cooking with love means embracing the little imperfections. If the filling isn’t perfectly smooth, don’t sweat it. It’s all part of the homemade charm!
