Ingredients

• 1 piece Pie crust (9-inch, pre-made or homemade)
• 15 oz Pumpkin puree
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tbsp Orange liqueur (e.g., Grand Marnier or Cointreau)
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 tsp Ground ginger
• 0.25 tsp Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 1 cup Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
• 1 tsp Orange zest (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Roll out the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges as desired. If using a pre-made crust, simply fit it into the dish.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, and orange liqueur until smooth.

Step 4

Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt to the mixture. Stir until fully combined.

Step 5

Crack the eggs into a separate bowl. Lightly beat them with a fork, then add them to the pumpkin mixture. Whisk until the filling is smooth and well-blended.

Step 6

Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Place the pie on the middle rack of your preheated oven. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. This will take about 2 hours.

Step 9

Once cooled, optionally garnish the pie with whipped cream and a sprinkle of orange zest for extra flavor and presentation.

Step 10

Slice and serve the pie. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
