Ingredients:
- 1 can (15 oz / 425g) 100% pure pumpkin puree
- 3 large (approx. 150g) eggs
- 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
- 1 tbsp (13g) pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp (25g) powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp (2.5ml) vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate with butter or coconut oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until the mixture is a uniform, deep orange.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure the custard is properly emulsified.
- Slowly pour in the heavy cream and vanilla extract, whisking until the batter is velvety and smooth.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pie plate and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes until the edges are slightly puffed and the center has a slight gelatinous jiggle.
- Remove from the oven and cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up.
- Prepare the optional topping by whipping heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until peaks form, then dollop onto slices.
