Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups pumpkin puree
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 large eggs
Spices:
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Crust:
- 1 unbaked pie crust
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 425F (220C), ensuring a precise temperature for optimal baking.
- Combine pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, and spices in a large mixing bowl, whisking thoroughly until the mixture achieves a silky, uniform consistency.
- Carefully transfer the spiced pumpkin mixture into an unbaked pie crust, spreading evenly to create a smooth surface.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake at 425F for 15 minutes to initiate the cooking process with an initial high-heat burst.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350F (175C) and continue baking for an additional 35-40 minutes, monitoring the pie’s center for doneness by inserting a knife – it should emerge clean when the pie is fully cooked.
- Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature, which helps the filling set and enhances the flavor profile.
- Serve the pie chilled or at room temperature, optionally garnishing with whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
Notes
- Achieve the perfect texture by whisking ingredients thoroughly to eliminate any lumps, ensuring a silky smooth filling.
- Prevent pie crust edges from burning by covering them with aluminum foil during the last 20 minutes of baking.
- Customize the spice blend by adjusting cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg quantities to match your personal taste preferences.
- Make this recipe gluten-free by using a gluten-free pie crust or creating a crustless version for a low-carb alternative.
