Method
Prepare the Pie Crust
- In a large bowl, mix all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt, then cut in cold butter and shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, mixing until dough forms. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, gently pressing the sides and trimming the excess.
Blind Bake Crust
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lining the crust with parchment, fill it with pie weights or dried beans, and place it in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes until set.
Mix Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and spices. Add in well-beaten eggs, heavy cream, and cornstarch, whisking until smooth.
Fill Brushed Crust
- Once the crust has cooled slightly, remove the parchment and weights. Pour the smooth pumpkin filling into the pre-baked crust.
Bake
- Bake for 55-60 minutes at 350°F (175°C) until filling is set around the edges but slightly wobbly in the center.
Cool & Serve
- Let the pie cool completely to room temperature for at least 4 hours. Serve with dollops of whipped cream and optional sugared cranberries.

Notes
Ensure the pie cools completely for perfect presentation and avoid cracks by removing it from the oven when slightly wobbly in the center.
