Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz pumpkin puree
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 0.5 tsp ground nutmeg
- 0.25 tsp ground cloves
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 12 oz evaporated milk
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 piece unbaked 9-inch pie crust
- 1 for serving whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Mix until fully incorporated.
Add the eggs to the bowl and beat gently until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Gradually stir in the evaporated milk and vanilla extract until the filling is creamy and cohesive.
Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan, trimming or crimping the edges as desired.
Carefully pour the pumpkin filling into the pie crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula if needed.
Place the pie on the middle rack of your oven and bake for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C).
Lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 40-50 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving.
Optional: Top slices with whipped cream for an extra indulgence.
