How to Make Scratch Pumpkin Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the pie crust: (Instructions for making a pie crust from scratch would be added here. This could be linked to a separate recipe or detailed steps provided.)
  3. Prepare the pumpkin puree: Cut the pumpkin or squash in half, remove seeds, and roast at 375°F (190°C) for 45-60 minutes, or until tender. Scoop out the flesh and puree until smooth.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, spices (cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg), salt, eggs, and heavy cream until well combined.
  5. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared pie crust.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. If the crust starts browning too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
  7. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy the delicious pumpkin custard as well!
  8. Optional: Serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
