This irresistible Birthday Cake Pumpkin Pie combines the warm, cozy flavors of fall with the colorful fun of a celebration, making it perfect for autumn gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (240g) pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • ¾ cup (150g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (80g) rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your pie dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press it firmly into the bottom and sides of your pie dish. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, eggs, heavy cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until smooth.
  4. Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles, being careful not to overmix to prevent the colors from bleeding.
  5. Pour the filling into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly. Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any spills.
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. The edges should puff up slightly.
  7. Let the pie cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours (preferably overnight) before serving.

Notes

[‘Use room-temperature eggs for smoother blending with the pumpkin puree.’, ‘Don’t skip the cooling step—it helps the pie set and makes slicing easier.’, ‘If your sprinkles start to bleed, try chilling the filling before folding them in.’, ‘For a firmer crust, press it down firmly with a measuring cup or the bottom of a glass.’, ‘Test for doneness by gently shaking the pie—the center should jiggle slightly but not slosh.’]
