Blind Bake the Pie Crust
*Libby’s recipe notes that blind baking is optional, but this step creates a crispier bottom crust.Preheat oven to 375°F.
Place pie crust into a pie pan and crimp edges. Gently pierce the bottom with a fork. Line with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans.
Bake for 15 minutes. Remove weights and parchment and set aside.
Make Pie Chips and Designs
Roll out the second pie crust. Use cutters to stamp fall shapes.
Whisk egg white with water and brush over cutouts. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
Bake at 375°F for 12 minutes until golden brown. Set aside to cool.
Prepare Pumpkin Filling
Preheat oven to 425°F.
In a large bowl, beat eggs. Stir in pumpkin, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Gradually mix in evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk until smooth.
Pour into prepared pie shell.
Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350°F and bake 30 to 40 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
Cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours, then refrigerate overnight if possible.
Make Whipped Cream
Whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form. Do not overmix. The texture should be light and fluffy.
Top cooled pie with whipped cream and decorative pie chips before serving.
