Recipe Summary

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 45 minutes
  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Servings: 8
  • Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

  • 1 (15 oz) can of pumpkin puree
  • 1 (14 oz) can of sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (9-inch) store-bought pie crust

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until smooth and well blended.
  3. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.
  4. Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
  5. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for another 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before serving. This helps the filling to set properly.

Helpful Tips

For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cloves or allspice to the filling. If you have extra time, make the crust from scratch for a more homemade feel. Alternatively, you can decorate with whipped cream or caramel drizzle as a finishing touch.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Ensure the pie is covered with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to maintain freshness.

Pairings

This cozy pumpkin pie pairs wonderfully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a delightful drink pairing, enjoy it with a cup of spiced chai tea or a pumpkin spice latte.
