Ingredients
Scale
Pumpkin Pie Layer:
- 1 (15 ounces/425 grams) can pumpkin puree
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup Dixie Crystals extra fine granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Cinnamon Streusel:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups Dixie Crystals extra fine granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks/170 grams) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the oven, heating it to 350F (175C) to ensure optimal baking conditions.
- Create a velvety pumpkin base by whisking together pumpkin puree, sugar, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, salt, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until completely smooth and well-incorporated.
- Transfer the silky pumpkin mixture into a generously greased baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Craft the streusel topping by combining flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a separate mixing bowl.
- Drizzle melted butter over the dry streusel ingredients, using a fork to create a crumbly, textured topping.
- Distribute the streusel evenly across the pumpkin layer, ensuring complete coverage for a crunchy, golden surface.
- Slide the prepared dish into the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, watching for a golden-brown streusel and a set pumpkin base.
- Remove from the oven and let the dessert rest for a few minutes, allowing the layers to settle and flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
- Swap dairy ingredients easily with coconut cream or almond milk for a vegan-friendly version that maintains the creamy texture.
- Use gluten-free flour blend to make this dessert suitable for those with wheat sensitivities without compromising the crispy streusel topping.
- Enhance the spice profile by adding a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg or cardamom to elevate the classic pumpkin pie flavor complexity.
- Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream to transform this comforting dessert into an indulgent autumn treat.
