Description
This easy pumpkin pie recipe is rich, creamy, and packed with warm fall flavors. Served with a dollop of fluffy whipped cream, this classic dessert is a must-try for pumpkin lovers!
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust recipe, partially baked
- 1 can (15oz/425g) pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- ½ cup (95g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (55g) light brown sugar
- 1 ¼ teaspoon (3g) ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon (2.5g) ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- ¾ cup (177ml) evaporated milk
- ¾ cup (177ml) whole milk
Instructions
- Prepare a 9-inch pie crust and partially blind bake it.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree with the granulated and brown sugar, salt and all spices. Mix to combine.
- Next, add the eggs and beat until well combined. Then slowly add the milks and mix until incorporated.
- Pour the filling into the partially baked crust. Bake at 425° for 15 minutes and then reduce the oven to 350°F for approximately 35-40 minutes. The center will be slightly giggly. Cool completely prior to serving.
- Serve with whipped cream.
Notes
- A store-bought crust is not large enough for the filling, so if you are using one I recommend only filling it 3/4 of the way and adjusting the bake time accordingly.
- The pie crust should be partially baked. Here’s the full tutorial. The oven temperature is 375 for the blind bake. So when preheating the oven, start there. Then while the pie crust cools a bit, turn up the heat to 425.

- Storage:
- Fridge: Can be stored for up to four days after baking. Just make sure to allow the pie to cool completely before covering with foil (or plastic seal) and refrigerate.
- Freezer: You can freeze pumpkin pie for up to one month! As described above, first let the pie cool completely. Once that’s done, wrap in one layer of plastic wrap, then also in aluminum foil. When you’re ready to eat it, thaw the wrapped pie in the refrigerator (either for a few hours or overnight) before serving.
