Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 15 oz pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 12 oz evaporated milk
- 2 large eggs
- 0.75 cups brown sugar, packed
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp ground nutmeg
- 0.5 tsp ground ginger
- 0.25 tsp ground cloves
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 1 cup whipped cream (optional for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with nonstick spray or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and the melted butter until a soft dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to create a crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove and let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, eggs, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt until smooth and fully combined.
Pour the pumpkin filling over the baked crust in the pan, spreading it evenly.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the dessert to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours for best results.
Serve chilled with a dollop of whipped cream on top, if desired.
