Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Roll out the pre-made pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Line a 9-inch pie pan with the crust, pressing it into the corners and trimming any excess overhang.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, and eggs. Whisk together until smooth.
Add granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, and salt to the pumpkin mixture. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for another 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center of the pie comes out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours. This allows the filling to set properly.
Once the pie is cooled, slice it into 8 servings.
Serve each slice with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
