Ingredients
Scale
Pie Filling
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 large eggs, slightly beaten
- 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
- 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and spray a 9-inch pie pan with pan spray to prepare for baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, salt, ground ginger, and ground cloves until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the beaten eggs, pumpkin puree, and evaporated milk to the dry mixture. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated. Alternatively, blend all ingredients in a blender on high speed for about 20 seconds until completely combined.
- Pour Mixture: Pour the pumpkin mixture evenly into the prepared pie pan, spreading it out smoothly.
- Bake Pie: Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes. The pie is done when it is set around the edges and the center has a slight wobble when gently moved.
- Cool and Chill: Allow the pie to cool at room temperature for at least one hour. Then refrigerate the pie for at least four hours before serving to let it set completely.
- Serve: Slice and serve chilled. Optionally, top with whipped cream for extra richness and flavor.
Notes
- Make sure not to overbake; the center should still have a slight wobble to ensure creamy texture.
- Use a non-stick pie pan or spray it well to prevent sticking since there is no crust.
- For a smoother texture, blending the ingredients is preferred.
- Store leftovers refrigerated and consume within 3-4 days.
- Whipped cream topping is optional but highly recommended for added flavor.
