Ingredients

• 1 (9-inch) pie crust, unbaked
• 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Whipped cream, for serving
• Caramel sauce, for drizzling

How to Make Pumpkin Pie with Whipped Cream

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, eggs, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
3. Add the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt to the pumpkin mixture. Stir until well combined.
4. Pour the pumpkin filling into the unbaked pie crust, spreading it evenly.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
7. Once cooled, slice and serve topped with whipped cream and a generous drizzle of caramel sauce.

Tips for the Best Results

• For a flaky crust, handle the dough as little as possible and keep it chilled before baking.
• To prevent cracks in your pie filling, avoid overmixing and ensure the eggs are at room temperature.
• Let the pie cool completely before slicing to help it hold its shape.

Easy Variations

• Spiced pumpkin pie: Add a pinch of cloves or allspice for an extra kick.
• Nutty crust: Substitute the regular pie crust with a graham cracker or pecan crust for a different flavor profile.
• Chocolate drizzle: Swap out the caramel for a chocolate sauce for a delicious twist.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing.
• A cup of spiced chai or coffee to complement the flavors.
• Fresh apple slices with caramel dip for a crunchy side.
