Instructions

Preparing the crust:

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and sugar.
Add the chilled butter pieces and cut them into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add ice water one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together.
Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least one hour.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Carefully transfer the dough to the pie dish, trim the excess, and crimp the edges.
Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the weights and parchment and bake for an additional 5 minutes until lightly golden. Set aside to cool.

Preparing the filling:

In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and eggs until smooth.
Gradually add the heavy cream, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Add the cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, allspice, and salt, stirring until the spices are fully incorporated.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.

Baking the pie:

Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

Serving Suggestions:

Top each slice with a dollop of freshly whipped cream, lightly spiced with a hint of cinnamon.
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Garnish with a sprinkle of crushed pecans or a drizzle of caramel sauce for added texture and flavor.

Beverage Pairings:

Hot beverages: A spiced chai tea or a rich, creamy latte will complement the warm spices in the pie.

Dessert wines: A sweet, late-harvest Riesling or an ice wine will pair beautifully with the pie’s spiciness and sweetness.
