"We paired this recipe with a gingersnap crust and it was so delicious," according to rockchalk. "The pie filling is smooth and the pumpkin flavor is there, but not in your face. This is my family's favorite pumpkin pie recipe."

"Really creamy delicious pie," raves karmanitrate. "I prefer mine with a touch more of ginger and nutmeg for an extra kick!"

"This is a very light and tasty pumpkin pie — a big hit with my family at Thanksgiving," says JAS666. "In place of the milk, though, I used eggnog, which gave it an extra nice taste."

Ingredients

1 ¾ cups pumpkin puree
¾ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup heavy whipping cream
½ cup milk
2 large eggs, beaten
1 (9 inch) frozen unbaked pie crust, thawed in the refrigerator, but still cold

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Place pumpkin puree in a saucepan over medium-high heat; cook and stir until slightly dry and caramelized, 10 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Stir sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and salt into the caramelized pumpkin until well combined. Mix in cream, milk, and eggs until smooth. Pour into the cold pie crust.
