Sign InYour pumpkin pie deserves an upgrade: enter this chai-spiced pumpkin pie recipe. If you’re missing one (or even two) of the spices called for, don’t stress it—your pie will still be delicious. This pie can be made a day in advance and chilled overnight. However, you are best off making the whipped cream not too long before serving. Fresh whipped cream (that has not been stabilized with something like gelatin) will deflate with time. If this does happen, or, if you accidentally over-whip the cream, it can be easily fixed by adding a little fresh cream and re-whipping it.

Bake on bottom rack of oven for 15 minutes; reduce heat to 350°F and bake for an additional 40 to 50 minutes, until the filling is almost set (there should still be a slight jiggle in the center). Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing, at least 2 hours. Serve with Maple Whipped Cream.
