    Ingredients

    • 1/2 cup sugar
    • 1/4 cup (packed) brown sugar
    • 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
    • 1 tsp. salt
    • 1/2 tsp. chipotle chile powder
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 can (15 oz.) pure pumpkin
    • 1 can (12 oz.) evaporated milk
    • 1 9-inch deep-dish unbaked piecrust
    • 3 tbsp. toasted pepitas
    • 3 tbsp. chopped crystallized ginger
    • Whipped cream, for serving (optional)

    Preparation

    Preheat the oven to 375°. In a small bowl, mix the first 5 ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Whisk in the pumpkin, evaporated milk, and the sugar-and-spice mixture; pour into the piecrust. Bake until just set in the center, about 1 hour. During the last 10 minutes of baking, top the pie with toasted pepitas and chopped crystallized ginger, making a 2-inch border around the pie. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Serve with whipped cream, if using.
