Ingredients
Scale
Pie Crust
- 1 prepared 9-inch pie crust
Filling
- 1 1/2 cups pumpkin purée
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 4 ounces white chocolate, chopped
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pie Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the prepared 9-inch pie crust into a pie dish and set aside.
- Melt White Chocolate: Gently melt the chopped white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly to avoid cooking the eggs in the next step.
- Mix Pumpkin Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin purée, heavy cream, eggs, brown sugar, pumpkin spice, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined and smooth.
- Incorporate White Chocolate: Stir the slightly cooled melted white chocolate into the pumpkin mixture evenly, creating a creamy and rich filling.
- Fill the Pie Crust: Pour the pumpkin and white chocolate filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
- Bake the Pie: Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 to 60 minutes, until the center is just set and a knife inserted near the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool Completely: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving to allow the filling to fully set.
Notes
- Ensure the white chocolate has cooled sufficiently before mixing with eggs to prevent curdling.
- Use a store-bought pie crust for convenience or homemade for a more rustic flavor.
- Cooling the pie completely is important for clean slices.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days.
