This cannabis-infused pumpkin pie is the ultimate fall dessert, ready in just over an hour. With its rich, spiced filling and perfect for holiday gatherings, it’s a festive treat everyone will love!

Pumpkins aren’t just for carving! This fall season, indulge in an infused pumpkin pie to add a little THC elegance to your feast. We love the texture of the pie filling and the richness of the spices, making pumpkin pie an iconic holiday dessert.

Whether you’re hosting a cannabis-friendly Thanksgiving meal or wrapping up in a blanket on the couch with a craving for something sweet, this easy pumpkin pie recipe will take just a few minutes to prep and about one scary movie to bake in the oven.

Tips for Making the Best Cannabis-Infused Pumpkin Pie

To keep things simple, we recommend using your favorite brand of pumpkin puree and pie crust for this infused pie recipe. (Of course, you can also make your own if you wish, but we’re not that ambitious when it comes to pie.)

Around this time of year, store-bought ingredients are generally affordable and of great quality! This way, your prep time will come out to about 10 minutes just to mix all your ingredients together and get it into your pie dish.

When it comes to infusing this pumpkin pie, you can use cooking oil or infused butter. Our Hennep team used Cardoz Blended Gourmet’s Hybrid Live Resin Cooking Oil to infuse the filling. Made with virgin grapeseed oil and infused using live resin, the cooking oil is perfect for this recipe.

At around 40mg THC for the whole pie, our recipe yields 8 single servings of roughly 5mg each. Based on your preferences and experience level, feel free to adjust the 1 tsp used in the recipe according to your desired potency.

The hardest part about this cannabis-infused pumpkin pie recipe is cooking it perfectly. To check if your pumpkin pie is done, gently jiggle the pan with an oven mitt. If the center jiggles a lot, it needs more time. A slight jiggle is okay, as it will firm up while cooling. You can also insert a knife in the center—if it comes out clean, your pie is ready!

An undercooked pie will be softer and may create a soggy texture in the crust. This will make it difficult to slice and service. An overcooked pie will cause cracks to form on top and will give you a dry, grainy texture.

For that perfect rich, creamy infused pumpkin pie texture, bake the pie for 50-60 minutes and start checking for doneness every few minutes around the 50-minute mark. Remember, it’s okay if the center is a tiny bit undercooked when you take it out of the oven, as the pie will continue to cook through as it sits.

While it can be tempting to eat this whole thing in one sitting, we don’t recommend that with an infused recipe. To store this cannabis pumpkin pie, loosely cover it with plastic and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

You can also choose to freeze it. Once the pie has cooled to room temperature, wrap it tightly with plastic, and place it in a large freezer-safe bag. When ready to enjoy, thaw the pie by placing it in the refrigerator overnight.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 (9-inch) pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
• 1 ¾ cups pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
• ¾ cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 ¼ cups evaporated milk
• 2 ½ tsp of pumpkin pie spice (or pumpkin spice powder)
  • If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, you can use 2 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp ground ginger, ½ tsp ground nutmeg, and ¼ tsp ground cloves instead.
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 tsp cannabis-infused cooking oil
• Whipped cream for serving (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out your pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess dough.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, eggs, evaporated milk, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until smooth and well combined.

3. Slowly mix in the cannabis-infused oil, ensuring it’s evenly incorporated into the filling.

4. Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

5. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. The crust should be golden brown.

6. Let the pie cool completely before slicing. Serve with whipped cream and an extra shake of pumpkin pie spice if desired, and enjoy responsibly!
