Description

This classic pumpkin pie recipe features a smooth and flavorful pumpkin filling made with fresh pumpkin puree, warmed spices, and creamy evaporated milk, all nestled in a flaky pie crust. Perfect for holiday celebrations or cozy autumn nights, this pie offers a traditional taste of fall with a creamy texture and rich spice blend.

Ingredients

Filling

  • 2 cups fresh pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger powder
  • 1 1/2 cups evaporated milk
  • 2 large eggs

Crust

  • 1 store-bought or homemade pie crust (9-inch)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare it for the initial high-temperature baking of the pumpkin pie.
  2. Prepare Pumpkin Filling: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the fresh pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger powder, evaporated milk, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
  3. Prepare Pie Crust: Roll out the pie crust and carefully place it into a 9-inch pie dish, ensuring the edges are properly fitted and trimmed if necessary.
  4. Fill the Pie Crust: Pour the prepared pumpkin filling into the crust, leaving a little space at the top to allow for bubbling and expansion during baking.
  5. Bake the Pie: Bake the pie in the preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes. Then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 40-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. Serve slices with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired, for an extra touch of indulgence.

Notes

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree for the best flavor, but canned pumpkin can be substituted if needed.
  • Spices can be adjusted according to personal preference for a spicier or milder pie.
  • Ensure the pie is fully cooled before slicing to maintain clean slices.
  • Cover pie edges with foil if they brown too quickly during baking.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
