Why You’ll Love This Tasty Pumpkin Pie

This pumpkin pie is incredibly smooth and creamy, thanks to the perfect mix of pumpkin puree and evaporated milk. The balance of spices gives you that signature fall flavor without overwhelming the palate. Plus, it bakes beautifully with minimal fuss, making it ideal for bakers of all levels.

The recipe also plays well with homemade or store-bought crust, so you can make it your own. Add a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for that picture-perfect finish.

What Kind of Crust Should I Use for Pumpkin Pie?

You can use either a homemade buttery pie crust or a quality store-bought version to keep things simple. If you’re aiming for convenience, a frozen pre-made crust works great. Want extra flavor? Try a graham cracker crust for a nutty contrast to the creamy pumpkin filling. Just remember to blind bake it first to keep things crisp and delicious.

Ingredients for the Tasty Pumpkin Pie

Every ingredient in this pie plays a part in building the cozy depth of flavor and luscious texture you expect from a classic fall dessert.

Pumpkin Puree: The heart of the pie. Choose 100% pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling) for that rich, earthy flavor.
Evaporated Milk: Adds creaminess and helps achieve a silky filling without making it too heavy.
Granulated Sugar: Balances the earthiness of the pumpkin and spices with the right touch of sweetness.
Eggs: Provide structure and a custard-like texture.
Ground Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Clove, and Ginger: Create that iconic spiced pumpkin flavor.
Salt: Enhances and balances all the flavors.
Vanilla Extract: Adds warmth and rounds out the flavor.
Pie Crust: A flaky, buttery base that holds the filling perfectly. Use homemade or store-bought.

How To Make the Tasty Pumpkin Pie

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out your pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges. Place the crust in the fridge while you prepare the filling.

Step 2: Mix the Filling

In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, and sugar until smooth. Add in the evaporated milk, vanilla extract, spices, and salt. Whisk until fully combined and creamy.

Step 3: Fill the Crust

Pour the pumpkin mixture into your chilled crust. Tap gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.

Step 4: Bake

Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 40-50 minutes until the center is set but still slightly wobbly.

Step 5: Cool

Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cool, refrigerate for at least 3 hours (or overnight) to let it fully set.

How to Serve and Store Tasty Pumpkin Pie
