If you're planning on making this for Thanksgiving, start it early in the day. The pie needs four hours to set, but the refrigerator does just about all the work.

Yield Makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/4 cups ground gingersnaps (from about 25 cookies)
2 tablespoons sugar
Salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
2 cups whole milk
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of ground cloves
1/2 cup sugar
Salt
4 large egg yolks
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 1/4 cups solid-pack pumpkin (from one 15-ounce can)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/4 cups heavy cream, whisked to medium peaks
Garnish: freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Make the gingersnap crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine gingersnaps, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Stir in melted butter. Press mixture into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch metal pie dish. Refrigerate until set, about 15 minutes. Bake until crust is golden brown, about 15 minutes. Let cool.
  • Make the pumpkin cream filling: Bring milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, 1/4 cup sugar, and a pinch of salt to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  • Meanwhile, whisk egg yolks with cornstarch and remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a medium bowl.
  • Gradually whisk about 1/2 cup milk mixture into yolk mixture. Gradually whisk in remaining milk mixture. Return entire mixture to saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until bubbling in center, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Immediately whisk in pumpkin. Whisk in butter.
  • Strain filling through a fine sieve into a clean bowl. Pour into gingersnap crust, smoothing the top with an offset spatula. Refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours. When ready to serve, top with whipped cream, and garnish with nutmeg.

I'm allergic to nuts. Can I use a different type of crust?

Could you provide a gluten-free crust option?

Question: can I substitute graham cracker crust for the regular one?

Disaster! The crust was soggy and the filling was grainy. Followed the recipe exactly, not sure what went wrong.

Not a fan of pumpkin pie, but this recipe changed my mind. The spices and crust were perfect. Will definitely be making it again.

The pie was easy to make and turned out perfect. Texture of the crust was spot-on, and the filling was creamy and flavorful. Even my kids asked for seconds!

This is an autumn favorite in my family! Rich pumpkin flavor balanced with the sweetness of the crust and the spices. Will definitely make it again and again!
