Description

This Crustless Pumpkin Pie is a delightful and healthier twist on the classic dessert, featuring a creamy pumpkin filling without the added calories of a crust. Infused with warm spices like cinnamon, ginger, and cloves, this pie is perfect for fall gatherings or a comforting treat year-round. Easy to prepare and bake, it delivers all the traditional flavors of pumpkin pie with a smooth texture and a subtle sweet finish.


Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs, slightly beaten
  • 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Lightly spray a 9-inch pie pan with pan spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together ¾ cup granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, and ¼ teaspoon ground cloves until well blended.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in 2 slightly beaten large eggs, 1 can (15 ounces) of pumpkin puree, and 1 can (12 ounces) of evaporated milk into the dry ingredients. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and uniform. Alternatively, you can blend all the ingredients together in a blender on high for about 20 seconds for an extra smooth filling.
  4. Pour into Pan: Carefully pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared pie pan, spreading it evenly.
  5. Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes. Check for doneness by gently jiggling the pie; the edges should be set, while the center retains a slight wobble.
  6. Cool and Chill: Allow the pie to cool at room temperature for at least one hour. Then, refrigerate it for at least 4 hours to fully set and enhance flavors. Optional: Serve topped with whipped cream.

Notes

  • The center of the pie should have a slight wobble after baking; it will firm up as it cools and chills.
  • Using evaporated milk instead of regular milk gives the pie a richer texture.
  • For an even smoother filling, blend all ingredients rather than whisking.
  • This pie can be made a day ahead to save time and improve flavor melding.
  • If desired, garnish with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.
