OKAY YA’LL! It’s that time of year again. When I let the cat out of the bag and remind everyone that I’m actually a pretty good baker!

Thanksgiving is my time to shine, in the dessert department that is. To me Thanksgiving dinner isn’t complete without a slice of pumpkin pie at the end. So here is the pumpkin pie recipe that I like to use!

Ingredients:

  • 1 can (15oz) of pumpkin puree

  • 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream

  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk

  • 1 cup brown sugar

  • 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

  • 1/4 tsp. salt

  • 3 eggs

Start by preheating the oven to 400 degrees.

Prepare your pie crust and place in a 9inch pie pan. I used store bought pie crust but definitely feel free to make your own.

In a large bowl mix together all of the ingredients except the eggs. Once that is all mixed together add the eggs in one at a time. Beat until nice a fluffy.

Pour into the pie pan and bake for about 10 min. Reduce heat to 350 and continue baking for about another 40 min or until the center of the pie is no longer be jiggly.

If you would like to create a fun crust design like I did, use some cookie cutters to cut out whatever designs you want out of extra pie dough. I bought my tiny fall cookie cutters off amazon. After the pie bakes for the initial 10 minutes, take the pie out of the oven and place the crust cut outs however you like. Remember to use a little bit of water on your finger to help the crust stick together if you’re going to be overlapping the pieces like I did.

Let it cool completely and it’s ready to serve! If you like cool whip you can definitely add a dollop to the top! If you make this recipe let me know in the comments and enjoy!
