Ingredients
- 1 (15-ounce) Can Pumpkin Puree
- 1 (14-ounce) Can Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- ½ tsp Ground Ginger
- ½ tsp Nutmeg
- ½ tsp Salt
- 1 (9-inch) Unbaked Pie Crust
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 425 °F (220 °C).
- In a medium bowl whisk together the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into the unbaked pie crust.
- Bake at 425 °F (220 °C) for 15 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350 °F (175 °C) and continue baking until a knife inserted about 1 inch from the crust comes out clean, about 35-40 minutes.
- Let the pie cool completely before slicing. Optionally chill in the refrigerator before serving for firmer texture.
Pro-Tips
- Use canned pumpkin puree, not the spiced “pumpkin pie filling” version, to maintain control of flavor.
- Allow the pie to fully cool before slicing. The filling sets better and slices cleaner when chilled.
- To make it work better for a regular routine, opt for a whole-grain or lower-fat crust variant and control portion size rather than treating this as unlimited.
- You can bake ahead and store the pie in the fridge (or freeze in a wrapped foil pan) to reduce stress in a busy schedule and stay consistent with your approach.
