Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham crackers, finely crushed
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 pinch salt (for crust)
- 1 can (15oz / 425g) 100% pure pumpkin puree
- 1 cup heavy cream (for filling)
- ¼ cup real maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt (for filling)
- 1 cup heavy cream, very cold (for whipped topping)
- 2 tablespoons real maple syrup (for whipped topping)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (for whipped topping)
- 1 pinch salt (for whipped topping)
Instructions
- Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs. Mix with melted butter and a pinch of salt until resembling wet sand.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the bottom of a glass to pack it down tightly. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, 1 cup heavy cream, ¼ cup maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until completely smooth.
- Pour the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top. Tap the dish gently to remove air bubbles.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, preferably 4 hours or overnight, until the filling is set.
- When ready to serve, whip the cold heavy cream, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, ½ teaspoon vanilla, and a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
- Spoon or dollop the whipped maple cream on top of the chilled pie.
- Garnish with extra pumpkin pie spice or crushed graham crackers. Slice with a sharp knife and serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure pumpkin puree is 100% pure, not pie filling. Keep all equipment and cream very cold for whipping. The pie tastes better the next day as flavors meld. Do not freeze as texture may become watery.
