Ingredients

  • 1 unbaked pie crust 
  • 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin purée 
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves or allspice
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup Cannabis butter
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Line the pie crust with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  • Bake until the edges just start to brown, 12 to 15 minutes on 400F. Remove from the oven and keep near the stove. 
  • Place the pumpkin purée, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves or allspice in a food processor fitted with the blade attachment or blender.

  • Transfer the mixture to a large saucepan and place over medium-high heat. Stir frequently until incorporated for 3 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the heat. Whisk in the milk, cannabis butter and cream.
  • Once the mixture is cooled off a little, slowly whisk the eggs into the saucepan with the pumpkin mixture until smooth.
  • Whisk in the vanilla.
  • Carefully pour the warm pumpkin mixture into the warm pie crust.
  • Carefully transfer the baking sheet with the pie to the oven on 350F for 50 to 60 minutes.
  • Let the pie cool to room temperature before serving — it will continue to set as it cools.
