Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans (15 oz each) pumpkin puree
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 12–16 oz white chocolate
- 1 cup white sugar (for caramel)
- Unsalted butter (total: 23 tablespoons)
- Corn syrup (total: 1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons)
- Flour (total: 2 cups + 1/2 cup for streusel)
- Pumpkin pie spice (3 teaspoons)
- Salt (to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust by combining flour, cornmeal, sugar, and salt. Cut in butter until crumbly. Add ice water and vinegar until the dough forms; chill.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the crust, fit it into a pie dish, dock it with a fork, and bake for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- For the filling, melt heavy cream, corn syrup, butter, white chocolate, pumpkin puree, spice, and salt over medium heat until smooth. Pour into the cooled crust.
- For salted caramel, dissolve sugar in water; boil until amber. Stir in cream and butter; cool slightly before pouring over the filling.
- Prepare streusel topping by mixing flour, brown sugar, oats, spices, and butter until crumbly; sprinkle over caramel and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes.
- Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until peaks form; serve on slices of pie.
