Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1-1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1-1/2 cups commercially canned pumpkin
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 can (5 ounces) evaporated milk (1/2 cup plus 2 Tablespoons)
  • 3 extra-large eggs, slightly beaten
  • 1 9-inch unbaked pastry pie crust shell
  • Whipped cream

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, place the brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg; stir to combine. Add the pumpkin and stir vigorously until well blended. Add the whole milk, evaporated milk, and eggs; stir until blended and smooth. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the pie shell.

Step 3

Bake the pie for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. and continue baking for 45 additional minutes, or until a table knife inserted into the pumpkin filling halfway between the edge and the center of the pie comes out clean.

Step 4

Remove the pie from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool. To serve, spoon a large dollop of whipped cream on top of each pie slice. After serving, leftover pie must be refrigerated.

Step 5

Yield: 7 servings.
