A delightful dessert combining creamy pumpkin filling, a crumbly graham cracker base, and a luscious caramelized top, perfect for fall gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • Sugar for caramelizing the top (about 1/2 cup)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your pie dish or cake pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Whisk together the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, milk, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in a mixing bowl until smooth.
  3. Mix the crushed graham crackers, brown sugar, and melted butter in another bowl until it resembles wet sand.
  4. Layer the graham cracker mixture in the bottom of the prepared pan and press it down gently.
  5. Pour the pumpkin mixture over the graham cracker layer slowly and gently.
  6. Bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until it’s set with a gentle jiggle in the middle.
  7. Let cool, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  8. Before serving, sprinkle sugar evenly over the top and use a kitchen torch to caramelize until golden and crispy.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for the best blend. Allow the cake to cool completely before refrigerating.
