Cannabis Pumpkin Pie
A warmly spiced cannabis-infused pumpkin pie with a flaky crust and velvety filling, perfect for holiday gatherings or any time you want an infused seasonal treat.
This easy cannabis cannabis pumpkin pie recipe uses cannabutter for a consistent, potent infusion that bakes beautifully at 425°F then 350°F / 220°C then 175°C. Baked goods are one of the most popular ways to enjoy edibles because the fat binds perfectly with THC. Follow our step-by-step guide to get reliable dosing every time. This cannabis pumpkin pie blends warm autumn spices with cannabutter for a smooth, creamy filling that makes any gathering a little more festive.
- 3.5 grams of cannabutter
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
- 1 can (15 oz) pure pumpkin puree
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon each: ground ginger, ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges.
- Melt the cannabutter gently over low heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, melted cannabutter, and all the spices until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the cannabis-infused filling into the pie crust.
- Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 35-40 minutes until the filling is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Cool completely on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing. Serve with whipped cream.
Dosing Tips for Your Cannabis Pumpkin Pie
- Start with 5-10 mg of THC per serving when baking for the first time, and wait at least 90 minutes before consuming more.
- Mix your cannabutter thoroughly into the batter to ensure even distribution of THC across every piece.
- Use our calculator to determine the total milligrams in your cannabutter, then divide by the number of portions you plan to cut.
- Remember that baked goods can take 45-90 minutes to take effect because they must be digested first.
- The melted cannabutter is whisked directly into the filling and baked in, so cutting into 8 equal slices gives consistent dosing across the pie.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Baking at temperatures above 350 F (175 C) for extended periods can degrade THC. Keep your oven at or below 425°F then 350°F / 220°C then 175°C and avoid overbaking.
- Skipping decarboxylation before infusing your fat is the most common beginner mistake and will result in weak or inactive edibles.
- Not mixing the cannabutter evenly into the batter leads to hot spots where one piece is extremely potent and another has almost nothing.
- Opening the oven door frequently causes temperature fluctuations that can affect both the bake and cannabinoid preservation.
How to Store Cannabis Pumpkin Pie
- Store your Cannabis Pumpkin Pie in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for up to two weeks.
- For longer storage, wrap individual pieces tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months without significant potency loss.
- Always label your edibles clearly with the date, strain used, and approximate mg per serving to avoid accidental overconsumption.
- Refrigerate covered for up to 3 days; this pie is best served chilled or at room temperature, never warm, to keep the filling properly set.
Variations & Ideas
- Swap cannabutter for cannabis-infused coconut oil for a dairy-free version that still binds THC effectively.
- Add a teaspoon of sunflower lecithin to your batter to improve THC absorption and create a more even distribution.
- Try using a mix of CBD and THC-infused fat for a more balanced, less intoxicating effect that is great for daytime use.
- Top with candied pecans or a ginger cookie crumble for added texture, or make mini pumpkin pies in a muffin tin for individual portions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Technically yes, but it is not recommended. Raw flower must be decarboxylated first, and even then it creates a gritty texture and uneven dosing. Infusing your cannabutter first gives a much smoother result and more reliable potency.
Oven thermostats can be off by 25 degrees or more. Use an oven thermometer to verify the actual temperature matches 425°F then 350°F / 220°C then 175°C. This matters because excessive heat degrades THC while too-low temperatures may underbake your goods.
Yes, there will be a noticeable cannabis aroma while baking, especially in the first 15-20 minutes. Using properly infused and strained cannabutter reduces the smell compared to adding flower directly. Good ventilation helps.
When stored properly in an airtight container, cannabis baked goods retain their full potency for about two weeks at room temperature. Frozen edibles can stay potent for three months or longer. Heat and light are the main enemies of THC stability.
You cannot reduce the dosage once baked, but you can cut smaller pieces. This is why accurate calculation before baking is essential. Use our dosage calculator to plan your total THC content and number of servings before you start.
