Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (15 ounces / 425 grams) can pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream
Sugars and Sweeteners:
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (110 grams) brown sugar, packed
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 350F (175C) and coat a 9×13-inch baking vessel with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Whisk pumpkin mixture thoroughly in a spacious mixing bowl until achieving a silky, homogeneous consistency, then transfer to the prepared baking dish.
- Create the crisp topping by blending dry ingredients in a separate container, then incorporate chilled butter using fingertips or a pastry tool until the mixture develops a crumbly, sandy texture.
- Distribute the crisp topping uniformly across the pumpkin base, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Position the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, monitoring until the topping transforms into a rich golden hue and the filling sets completely. Test doneness by inserting a knife near the center, which should emerge clean.
- Allow the dessert to rest and slightly cool for 15 minutes, enabling the filling to stabilize and develop optimal texture. Serve warm, optionally accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a generous dollop of whipped cream for enhanced indulgence.
Notes
- Opt for fresh pumpkin puree instead of canned for a more vibrant, homemade flavor that elevates the entire dessert.
- Swap out regular flour with gluten-free alternatives like almond or oat flour to make this recipe celiac-friendly.
- Reduce sugar content by using monk fruit sweetener or cutting overall sugar by 25% without compromising the dessert’s deliciousness.
- Enhance the crisp’s texture by toasting the oats briefly before mixing them into the topping, creating a deeper, nuttier crunch.
