Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (15 ounces / 425 grams) can pumpkin puree
- 3 large eggs
- 1 (14 ounces / 397 grams) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 9-inch premade pie crust
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1.5 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt in a mixing bowl, whisking thoroughly until the mixture achieves a silky, uniform consistency.
- Transfer the prepared pie crust to a baking sheet for easier handling and stability during baking.
- Carefully pour the pumpkin mixture into the pie crust, ensuring an even distribution and smooth surface.
- Place the pie in a preheated oven at 425F (220C) and bake for 15 minutes to initiate rapid initial cooking.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350F (175C) and continue baking for 35-40 minutes, monitoring the pie’s center for doneness by inserting a knife – it should come out clean with minimal residue.
- Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to rest at room temperature for complete cooling, which helps the filling set and stabilize.
- Once cooled to room temperature, slice and serve the pie, optionally garnishing with whipped cream or a light dusting of cinnamon.
Notes
- Swap regular pie crust with gluten-free alternatives for those with wheat sensitivities.
- Use fresh pumpkin puree instead of canned for a more authentic, homemade flavor profile.
- Stabilize whipped cream topping by chilling the mixing bowl and whisk beforehand for perfect peaks.
- Prevent pie crust edges from burning by covering them with aluminum foil during the last 20 minutes of baking.
