Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 recipe for 9-inch pie crust, chilled
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  2. Press the chilled pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate. Crimp the edges as desired.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, and lightly beaten eggs until smooth.
  4. Stir in the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, and cloves until well combined.
  5. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared pie crust.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  7. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking for 35-40 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

  • For a homemade crust, combine 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces. Cut the butter into the flour until coarse crumbs form. Add 3-4 tablespoons ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  • You can use fresh pumpkin puree instead of canned. Roast a sugar pumpkin until tender, scoop out the flesh, and puree until smooth.
  • For a richer flavor, you can add 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to the spice mixture.
  • If you are looking for meal planning services, consider exploring options that offer pre-portioned ingredients for desserts like this.
