Creamy Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin pie is my all time favorite fall dessert. It’s just a classic. This is the pumpkin pie I grew up on and it’s a creamier version than the ones you’ll find at the grocery store.

My oldest son and my brother have both won multiple first place ribbons in pie contests with this pie. It’s simple to throw together and oh so delicious to eat. You just can’t get enough.

If you need a pie crust recipe, you can find mine here.

 

This pumpkin pie is so good that you don’t really need any whipped cream but of course adding whipped cream is never a bad idea. Here is how I make whipped cream.

Homemade Whipped Cream
2 cups heavy whipping cream
2 tsp vanilla extract
6 tbsp white sugar

Put all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and beat with a hand mixer until thickened. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge.
