Ingredients
- 1 disk pie dough (plus 1 disk, if decorating)
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
- 1 15-ounce can pure pumpkin
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Coarse sugar, for sprinkling (optional)
Directions
Roll out the dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Ease into a 9-inch pie plate. Fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp the edges with your fingers. Pierce the bottom and sides all over with a fork. Chill at least 1 hour or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line the chilled dough with foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Transfer to the oven and bake until the edges are golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the foil and weights and continue baking until the crust is golden all over, 10 to 15 more minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.
Make the filling: Gently whisk the pumpkin, cream, granulated sugar, 2 eggs, the cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and salt (do not overmix). Beat the remaining egg and brush on the crust edge; sprinkle with coarse sugar. Pour the filling into the crust and bake until set around the edges, 50 minutes to 1 hour (the middle will still jiggle slightly). Transfer to a rack; let cool completely.

Was a little concerned that there were zero reviews for this, and I was making this for Thanksgiving dinner, but I was happily surprised. This recipe received rave reviews from all guests, and I really thought it was delicious! I am the worst critic of my own baking and would definitely make this again. I made this with the flaky pie crust recipe and ginger whipped cream from epicurious and it was amazing!
