Ingredients
For the Crust
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
For the Filling
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
- ¼ cup strong brewed coffee or espresso
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp pumpkin spice
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
For the Topping
- Whipped cream (homemade or store-bought)
- A sprinkle of pumpkin spice or cinnamon
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until combined. The mixture should feel like wet sand.
- Press the crust mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie pan, making sure it goes up the sides evenly.
- Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, then let it cool completely.
2. Make the Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, brewed coffee, and eggs until smooth.
- Add vanilla extract, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk again until fully incorporated.
3. Assemble the Pie
- Pour the filling into the cooled crust.
- Smooth the top with a spatula to ensure an even layer.
4. Bake the Pie
- Bake the pie at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is slightly set and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
- Pro Tip: If the edges of the crust brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil or a pie crust shield halfway through baking.
- Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours. For best results, chill it in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours or overnight.
5. Add the Finishing Touch
- Just before serving, top the pie with dollops of whipped cream.
- Sprinkle with pumpkin spice or cinnamon for a café-style touch.
Pro Tips for Perfect Pumpkin Spice Latte Pie
- Espresso vs. Coffee: For a bolder flavor, use espresso instead of regular brewed coffee.
- Homemade Whipped Cream: Whip 1 cup of heavy cream with 2 tbsp powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract for an ultra-fluffy topping.
- Make-Ahead Option: This pie tastes even better the next day, so feel free to prepare it a day in advance!
