Description
A delightful twist on traditional pumpkin pie, perfect for gatherings with its flaky crust and creamy pumpkin filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups (500g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 and 3/4 cup (396g) unsalted butter, very cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup (180ml) very cold ice water
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten with 1 Tablespoon (15ml) milk (for egg wash)
- 2 (15 ounce) cans pure pumpkin (about 4 cups total; 900g)
- 2 cups (400g) light or dark brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups (480ml) heavy cream
- 1/4 cup (60ml) whole milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon fresh ground pepper (optional)
- Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, salt, and granulated sugar. Add the cold cubed butter until it resembles coarse meal.
- Gradually add cold ice water until the dough forms. Shape into a ball, cut off 1/4 for decorating, and chill for at least 2 hours.
- Whisk together pumpkin puree, brown sugar, eggs, heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, and optional pepper.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and roll out the larger disc into an 18 by 13-inch rectangle. Transfer to a 10 by 15-inch jelly roll pan.
- Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared crust and bake for 35 to 45 minutes until slightly jiggly in the center. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- Roll out the remaining dough, cut into shapes, and bake at 350°F (177°C) for about 10 minutes.
- Decorate the cooled pie with baked shapes and/or whipped cream. Serve immediately or refrigerate leftovers.
Notes
For a flakier crust, keep ingredients cold and avoid overworking the dough. Customize spices as preferred.
