This classic Holiday Pumpkin Pie is the perfect dessert to bring warmth and tradition to your festive gatherings. Made with a smooth, spiced pumpkin filling and nestled in a flaky, buttery crust, this pie brings together the best flavors of the season. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger blend harmoniously with the natural sweetness of pumpkin to create a rich, velvety filling. Topped with a dollop of whipped cream, this pie is sure to be the star of your dessert table.
Ingredients:
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
- 2 cups pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup whole milk
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
