Ingredients
1 whole Pie Crust1⁄4 cup Unsalted Butter (softened)
1⁄2 cup Brown Sugar
1⁄4 cup Sugar
2 tablespoons Corn Syrup
2 tablespoons Molasses
3 tablespoons Flour
2 teaspoons Ground Ginger
1 teaspoon Ground Cloves
1⁄8 teaspoon Nutmeg
1⁄4 teaspoon Salt
3 whole Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 cup Heavy Cream
Directions
- Start by rolling out your pie crust into a 13-inch round. Fit in your nine-inch pie crust, leaving about a 1-inch overhang. Tuck under the overhang and crimp the edges. Stick it in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the pie on a baking sheet. Prick the pie crust with a fork all over. Take a sheet of parchment place into the pie crust. Pour in pie weights and transfer to the oven to bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove the parchment, and place back in the oven to bake for an additional 10 minutes. Remove the par-baked pie crust from the oven and set aside. Turn the heat down to 300 degrees.
- Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand-up mixer, with the paddle attachment, add the butter and light brown sugar and sugar; beat until it’s light and fluffy and smooth, about 2 to 3 minutes. With the mixer going, pour in the corn syrup and molasses.
- Next, add the flour, salt, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. Then, add the eggs, one at a time, making sure each one is incorporated before moving onto the next one. Lastly pour in the vanilla and heavy cream. Give it one last mix.
- Pour the filling into the par-baked pie crust. Carefully transfer it to the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. The top will appear cracked and puffy. Remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely, around 2 to 3 hours. During this time, it will set and deflate. Slice it up and serve it with whipped cream.
