Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling:

  • 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream

For the Streusel Topping:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 12 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray to prevent the pumpkin filling from sticking.
  2. Make the Pumpkin Filling: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, packed brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined. Stir in the ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, and Kosher salt to evenly distribute the warm spices. Gradually add the heavy cream and whisk until the mixture is uniform and silky. Pour this pumpkin filling into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  3. Prepare the Streusel Topping: In a clean bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, packed brown sugar, and cinnamon. Drizzle the melted butter over the dry ingredients and stir with a fork until the mixture becomes crumbly and clumps together. This will form the crisp topping.
  4. Assemble and Bake: Evenly sprinkle the streusel topping over the pumpkin filling, covering the surface completely. Place the baking dish on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is set.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the pumpkin pie crisp from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes to allow the filling to stabilize. Serve warm and enjoy the comforting combination of creamy pumpkin and crispy topping.

Notes

  • You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version, but the texture may be slightly less rich.
  • Make sure not to overbake; the filling should be set but still moist.
  • For added texture, consider adding chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts into the streusel topping.
  • Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; warm before serving.
