Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Filling
- 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined and press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, salt, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Assemble the pie: Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing the top evenly with a spatula.
- Chill the pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until the filling is set and firm.
- Whip the topping: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Serve this whipped cream as a topping on the pie slices just before serving.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute evaporated milk for sweetened condensed milk and use low-fat whipped topping instead of heavy cream.
- Enhance the flavor by toasting the graham cracker crumbs lightly before mixing with butter.
- Garnish the pie with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg before serving for added aroma and presentation.
