Pie Crust: 1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell (homemade or store-bought)
Pumpkin Puree: 1 can (15 ounces) pure pumpkin puree
Sweetened Condensed Milk: 1 can (14 ounces)
Eggs: 2 large eggs
Spices: 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt until smooth and well-combined.
-
Assemble Pie: Pour the prepared pumpkin filling into the unbaked pie crust, spreading evenly.
-
Bake: Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 35-40 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
-
Cool: Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours for the filling to set.
Notes
-
For a less sweet pie, use evaporated milk instead of sweetened condensed milk and add ¾ cup of granulated sugar.
-
You can substitute the spices with 1¾ teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice.
-
To prevent a soggy crust, blind bake the pie crust for 15 minutes at 425°F before adding the filling.
