Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (15 ounces/425 grams) can pumpkin puree
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
Spices and Seasonings:
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Dairy and Cream:
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 350°F (175°C), ensuring a consistent temperature for optimal baking.
- Create a silky pumpkin base by whisking together pumpkin puree, sugar, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, salt, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until the mixture achieves a smooth, uniform consistency.
- Craft a textural streusel topping by blending flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a separate mixing vessel, then incorporate melted butter to form a delicate, crumbly mixture.
- Transfer the luxurious pumpkin mixture into a well-greased baking dish, ensuring an even distribution across the surface.
- Delicately scatter the cinnamon streusel over the pumpkin layer, creating a visually appealing and textually diverse topping.
- Slide the prepared dish into the preheated oven, allowing it to bake for 40-45 minutes until the streusel transforms into a golden-brown crust and the pumpkin layer sets with a gentle firmness.
- Remove from the oven and let the dessert rest briefly, allowing the flavors to settle and the texture to stabilize before serving.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and even baking of the pumpkin layer.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with almond flour or a gluten-free all-purpose blend in the streusel topping.
- Enhance the flavor by toasting chopped pecans or walnuts and sprinkling them over the streusel before baking for added crunch and depth.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, and reheat gently in the oven to maintain the crisp texture of the streusel topping.
