For the Pie Crust
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose unbleached flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter 2 sticks, cold and diced into small pieces
- ¼-1/3 cup ice water
For the Pie:
- 1 15 ounce can pumpkin
- 1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup half and half
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ½ teaspoon salt
Whipped Cream:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar
To make the pie crust:
Add flour and salt in a large food processor and pulse to combine.
Add the cubes of cold butter and pulse until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly add the water 1-2 tablespoon at a time, pulsing after each addition to incorporate.
Stop when it starts to form a dough ball.
Remove the dough from the food processor and place it on a floured surface.
Form it into a dough ball, kneading any loose flour into the dough.
Cut the dough in half and form into a disc shape. Cover in plastic and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to overnight, before rolling it out.
To make the pie:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Roll out one of the dough balls and shape it into pie dish. Note: the other half of the pie crust dough can be frozen or used for decoration on the top of the pie.
In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, sweetened condensed milk, half and half, and spices.
Pour on top of pie crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 and bake another 45-55 minutes. A knife should come out of the center of the pie clean.
Cool for two hours. If not serving immediately, refrigerate.
To make the whipped cream:
Add whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla to a large bowl with electric mixer.
Beat until medium to stiff peaks form.
Serve pie sliced, topped with whipped cream.
Enjoy!
