How to Make Pumpkin Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, granulated sugar (or maple syrup), eggs, molasses, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg.
  3. Pour the filling into your prepared 9-inch pie crust.
  4. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil.
  5. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. For extra flair, bake decorative pastry leaves and arrange them on top of the cooled pie.
