Ingredients
Graham cracker crust
- 12 full sheet graham crackers
- ¼ cup brown sugar packed
- 6 tablespoons salted butter melted
Pumpkin pie filling
- 1 15-ounce pumpkin purée can
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (or half & half or full fat coconut milk)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
Whipped cream (optional)
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Graham cracker crust
- Preheat the oven to 350°F
- Pulse the graham crackers and brown sugar together in a food processor into a fine crumb. Add the butter and pulse until combined.
- Pour crumb mixture into a 9-10 inch pie plate and use a glass or bottom of a measuring cup to press it firmly in the bottom of the pan and up the sides.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
Pumpkin pie filling
- While the crust bakes, make the pie filling. Add all the pumpkin pie ingredients to a large bowl or bowl of a stand mixer. Using the stand mixer, electric hand mixer or whisk, whisk everything together until combined and smooth. Pour into the pre-baked crust.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the filling is puffed and the center jiggles just slightly when you gently shake the pie.
- NOTE: If you feel the edge of the crust is burning, you can cover the edges with strips of tinfoil or use a pie crust shield. Using a 9.5 inch pie plate, I don't find this necessary as the filling comes up to the edge of the crust.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely before slicing, about 2 hours. Best served with homemade whipped cream!
Whipped cream
- Add all ingredients to a stand mixer or a large bowl. Using the stand mixer or electric hand mixer, whip on medium-high speed until medium peaks form, about 3–4 minutes.
