Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, and eggs until smooth and fully combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the spices.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture while whisking, ensuring no lumps form.
Stir in the vanilla extract until incorporated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. The custard will firm up slightly as it cools.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Optionally, garnish with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
