A delightful mash-up of spiced pumpkin pie and funfetti birthday cake, perfect for fall celebrations and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup colorful sprinkles
  • Whipped cream (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press it evenly into the bottom and sides of your pie dish. Bake for 8 minutes, then let it cool completely.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, eggs, heavy cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until smooth and well combined.
  3. Pour the pumpkin filling into the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Scatter the sprinkles on top of the pie for that signature funfetti look.
  4. Lower the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C) and bake the pie for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly when you gently shake the dish.
  5. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then, transfer it to the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to fully set.
  6. Slice and serve with a dollop of whipped cream if desired.

Notes

[‘Don’t overmix the filling to avoid cracks in the pie.’, ‘Use room temperature eggs for smoother incorporation.’, ‘Chill the crust for 10 minutes before baking to prevent crumbling.’, ‘The center of the pie should jiggle slightly when nudged for perfect doneness.’, ‘Chill the pie for at least 4 hours to achieve the ideal creamy texture.’]
