Total Time 1 hour 5 minutes
Servings 8

Ingredients
  

  • 1 15 oz can pumpkin purée
  • 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice or sub with ¾ tsp cinnamon, ¼ tsp ginger, pinch of nutmeg/cloves
  • 1 9- inch unbaked pie crust store-bought or homemade
  • Optional Toppings:
  • Whipped cream
  • Sprinkle of cinnamon
  • Crushed pecans

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven
  • Preheat to 425°F (220°C).
  • Make the Filling
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, condensed milk, eggs, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth and creamy.
  • Pour and Prep
  • Pour filling into the unbaked pie crust. Smooth the top and place the pie on a baking sheet for easy handling.
  • Bake
  • Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes.
  • Then reduce the oven temp to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 35–40 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool and Chill
  • Let the pie cool on a wire rack, then chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours before slicing. Serve with whipped cream, cinnamon, or pecans if you like.

Notes

  • Don’t use pumpkin pie filling – it’s already spiced and sweetened and can mess with the flavor.
  • Watch the bake time – overbaking leads to cracks and dryness.
  • Let it chill – it needs time to set fully for clean, custardy slices.
  • Using homemade crust? Par-bake it for 10 minutes so it doesn’t go soggy.
