Ingredients
- 1 Basic Pie Crust, rolled and fitted into a 9-inch pie plate
- 1 can (15 ounces) pure pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more for serving
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin-pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin, (from a 1/4-ounce envelope)
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Press a sheet of aluminum foil onto crust, draping over rim of pie plate. To blind-bake: Fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until edge of crust is firm, about 20 minutes. Remove beans and foil; let crust cool completely, and set aside.
- Reduce heat to 350 degrees. Make filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together pumpkin, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, pie spice, vanilla, and salt; whisk in cream. Pour mixture into cooled crust; place pie plate on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until filling is set, about 1 hour. Let cool on a wire rack, 1 hour; refrigerate to cool completely, about 2 hours.
- Make topping: Place 3 tablespoons cold water in a small saucepan; sprinkle with gelatin, and let soften, about 5 minutes. Place pan over very low heat; stir until gelatin dissolves. Let cool slightly. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat cream and sugar until very soft peaks form. While beating, slowly add gelatin mixture; continue to beat until soft peaks form.
- With a rubber spatula, mound topping in center of chilled pie. Refrigerate at least 1 hour more (or up to 1 day). Sprinkle with more cinnamon before serving.

I made this last night with the gingersnap crust from the other pumpkin cream pie recipe. Can't wait to try it today!
I made this last year for Thanksgiving and it is wonderful. I love how the gelatin holds the shape of the whip cream so it doesn't get sloppy. I will be making this again next week for Thanksgiving!!
This was a great pie for Thanksgiving. Adding the cream to the pie filling and a topping is unbeatable. I will definitely make this every year! I saved some time by using a refrigerated crust and it worked fine.
AMAZING!!! I promise You won't regret making this pie... It's FORK
This pie turned out great! Very easy to prepare. I opted to use a frozen pie crust instead, but it worked out just fine. This is definitely a great new twist to the "traditional" pumpkin pie we have grown to love!
