Ingredients
Scale
Pie Crust
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
Filling
- 1 cup pumpkin purée
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 4 ounces white chocolate, chopped
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pie Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
- Melt White Chocolate: Gently melt the white chocolate over a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring frequently until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly to prevent cooking the eggs in the filling.
- Mix Filling Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, heavy cream, eggs, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
- Add White Chocolate: Stir the melted white chocolate into the pumpkin mixture thoroughly, ensuring an even distribution.
- Fill the Crust: Pour the pumpkin and white chocolate filling into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
- Bake the Pie: Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or 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 allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. This ensures the filling sets properly and slices cleanly.
Notes
- Ensure white chocolate is cooled slightly before mixing with eggs to prevent curdling.
- You can use a homemade or store-bought pie crust according to your preference.
- For best flavor, prepare the pie a few hours ahead or even overnight.
- Serve with whipped cream or a dusting of cinnamon for added indulgence.
- Pumpkin pie spice can be substituted with a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves if unavailable.
