Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (15 ounces / 425 grams) pure pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- 1 can (14 ounces / 396 grams) sweetened condensed milk
Spices:
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Crust and Seasoning:
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
Instructions
- Whisk together pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, and aromatic spices in a spacious mixing bowl until the mixture achieves a silky, uniform consistency.
- Carefully transfer the velvety filling into the waiting unbaked pie shell, ensuring an even distribution across the entire crust surface.
- Position the pie in a preheated oven at 425F and allow it to roast intensely for 15 minutes, creating a rapid initial caramelization.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350F and continue baking for an additional 35-40 minutes, monitoring for a slight wobble in the center and checking with a knife inserted near the center that comes out pristine and clean.
- Remove the pie from the oven and place on a wire cooling rack, allowing it to rest and settle for optimal texture and flavor development before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Crust Protection: Wrap pie crust edges with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning during the initial high-temperature baking stage.
- Smooth Filling Technique: Whisk ingredients thoroughly to eliminate lumps and create a silky, consistent texture throughout the pie.
- Doneness Check: The pie is perfectly baked when the center slightly jiggles but sets firmly when cooled, indicating a creamy custard-like consistency.
- Dietary Adaptation: Replace dairy sweetened condensed milk with coconut condensed milk for a dairy-free version that maintains rich, creamy flavor.
