Instructions

Step-1

Prepare the Pie Crust: In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in butter using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough just comes together. Shape into a disc, wrap in cling film, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Step-2

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 190°C (375°F).

Step-3

Roll and Fit the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Gently fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, trim excess edges, and crimp decoratively. Chill for 10 minutes while you prepare the filling.

Step-4

Make the Pumpkin Filling: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin purée, sugar, and eggs until smooth. Add the cream, spices, salt, and vanilla. Whisk until well combined and creamy.

Step-5

Assemble and Bake: Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared pie shell. Bake at 190°C (375°F) for 15 minutes, then reduce temperature to 170°C (340°F) and bake for another 35–40 minutes, or until the center is just set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.

Step-6

Cool and Serve: Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours. Chill before serving for a firmer texture, if desired. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon just before serving.
