Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups canned pumpkin puree
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 1 cup whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted unsalted butter, mixing until the consistency resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish or a similarly sized baking dish to form the crust. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the canned pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the eggs to the pumpkin mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Gradually stir in the evaporated milk, mixing until the filling is creamy and smooth.
Pour the pumpkin filling evenly over the prepared graham cracker crust.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the center is set and doesn’t jiggle when gently shaken.
Remove the dessert from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.
Optional: Dust the top with powdered sugar for a decorative finish and serve with a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
Cut into slices and serve. Enjoy your Delicious Pumpkin Dessert!
