Ingredients

  • 1 small sugar pie pumpkin or 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 1 cup sugar or brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs, slightly beaten
  • 2 teaspoons Spice Blend
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Pastry dough for 1 pie crust
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons turbinado sugar

Directions

For the pumpkin puree

You may do this up to 2 days in advance. Preheat oven to 375° F. Cut pumpkin in half crosswise and place it, cut-side down, on a baking sheet. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Allow to cool, scoop out seeds, and then scoop out pumpkin flesh and puree until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.

For the tart

Preheat oven to 425° F.

Combine 3 cups pumpkin puree with cream, sugar, eggs, Spice Blend and salt.

Line a 10-inch tart pan with pastry dough and pour in pumpkin filling. Sprinkle the top with turbinado sugar. Bake the pie for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350° F. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes more, or until the center is set.

Cool completely before serving.
