Ingredients

For the Pie Crust

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose unbleached flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butter 2 sticks, cold and diced into small pieces
  • ¼-1/3 cup ice water

For the Pie:

  • 1 15 ounce can pumpkin
  • 1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup half and half
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Whipped Cream:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • cup powdered sugar

Instructions

To make the pie crust:

  • Add flour and salt in a large food processor and pulse to combine.
  • Add the cubes of cold butter and pulse until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Slowly add the water 1-2 tablespoon at a time, pulsing after each addition to incorporate.
  • Stop when it starts to form a dough ball.
  • Remove the dough from the food processor and place it on a floured surface.
  • Form it into a dough ball, kneading any loose flour into the dough.
  • Cut the dough in half and form into a disc shape. Cover in plastic and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to overnight, before rolling it out.

To make the pie:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Roll out one of the dough balls and shape it into pie dish. Note: the other half of the pie crust dough can be frozen or used for decoration on the top of the pie.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, sweetened condensed milk, half and half, and spices.
  • Pour on top of pie crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 and bake another 45-55 minutes. A knife should come out of the center of the pie clean.
  • Cool for two hours. If not serving immediately, refrigerate.

To make the whipped cream:

  • Add whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla to a large bowl with electric mixer.
  • Beat until medium to stiff peaks form.
  • Serve pie sliced, topped with whipped cream.
  • Enjoy!
