Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (15 oz/425 g) pumpkin puree
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup whole milk
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 2 tsps pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- ½ cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Oven Preparation: Calibrate the oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously lubricate a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent adhering.
- Pumpkin Base Creation: Blend pumpkin puree, granulated sweetener, cream, milk, eggs, pumpkin pie seasoning, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla into a velvety, uniform mixture, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Topping Assembly: Merge rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pecans in a mixing bowl, then incorporate melted butter until the mixture develops a crumbly, rustic texture.
- Layering Process: Gently pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared dish, spreading evenly, then generously sprinkle the nutty, spiced topping across the surface to create a complete coverage.
- Baking Transformation: Position the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, monitoring until the filling sets firmly and the topping transforms into a rich, golden-brown crust.
- Cooling and Serving: Extract from the oven and allow the crisp to stabilize for 10-15 minutes, then serve warm with a luxurious accompaniment of vanilla ice cream or billowing whipped cream.
Notes
- Achieve Smooth Filling: Whisk ingredients thoroughly to prevent lumps and ensure a silky, uniform pumpkin base.
- Control Topping Texture: Gently fold butter into dry ingredients to create a perfect crumbly consistency without overworking the mixture.
- Prevent Burning: Cover with aluminum foil if topping browns too quickly, protecting the crisp from excessive darkening.
- Customize Dietary Needs: Swap pecans with gluten-free oats, use dairy-free milk alternatives, or replace eggs with flax eggs for adaptable dietary restrictions.
