Ingredients

  • 1 refrigerated pie crust
  • 15 oz can pure pumpkin
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 1 ¼ cups heavy cream, divided
  • ½ tsp cinnamon for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan, pressing it gently into the bottom and up the sides. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let it cool slightly while you prepare the filling.
  • In a stand mixer bowl (or large mixing bowl with a hand mixer), combine the pumpkin, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Beat until well blended.
  • Set the mixer to low speed. Gradually pour in the milk and ½ cup of the heavy cream, mixing until the filling is smooth and evenly combined.
  • Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight wobble.
  • Transfer the pie to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours to fully set.
  • When ready to serve, whip the remaining ¾ cup heavy cream until soft peaks form. Spread over the chilled pie, then dust with ½ teaspoon cinnamon.
  • Serve and enjoy!
