Pin This RecipeThis pumpkin pie is silky, deeply spiced, and set in a flaky crust. The filling is custard-smooth with a warm blend of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
The trick is baking until the center still jiggles slightly — it sets as it cools.
Serve with a mountain of freshly whipped cream.
