Ingredients:

For the Pumpkin Pie:

– 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
– 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
– 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
– 3/4 cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 tsp ground cinnamon
– 1/2 tsp ground ginger
– 1/4 tsp ground cloves
– 1/4 tsp salt
– 1/4 cup brown sugar (for the brûlée topping)

For the Vanilla Whipped Cream:

– 1 cup heavy whipping cream
– 2 tbsp powdered sugar
– 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it firmly into place.

2. Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, granulated sugar, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt until smooth.

3. Bake the Pie: Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crust. Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Continue baking for another 40-50 minutes, or until the center of the pie is set and a knife inserted into it comes out clean.

4. Cool and Caramelize: Let the pie cool completely. Once cooled, evenly sprinkle the brown sugar over the top. Using a kitchen torch, carefully caramelize the sugar until it forms a crisp, golden crust.

5. Whip the Cream: In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until soft peaks form.

6. Serve: Slice the Pumpkin Pie Brûlée and serve with a generous dollop of vanilla whipped cream.

Notes:

– Cooling is Key: Ensure the pie is fully cooled before adding the brûlée topping to keep the sugar from melting into the pie.
– Vanilla Option: Substitute bourbon vanilla extract with regular vanilla extract if preferred.
