Ingredients
  

Crust

Pumpkin Pie Filling

  • 15 oz pumpkin puree (1 15oz can)
  • 6 tbsp brown sugar (75g)
  • 3 eggs
  • 7.5 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 6 oz evaporated milk
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp ginger
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp cloves
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Before beginning to make this pie, prepare a dark, blind-baked pie crust. Almost any other crust of your choosing can be used as well. Instructions for an all-butter crust can be found here.
  • Preheat the oven to 325℉
  • In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, spices, and salt.
  • Whisk until smooth, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl.
  • Place your blind-baked pie crust on a baking sheet. Lightly brush around the edges with heavy cream.
  • Pouring slowly, fill the pie crust to the top edge. Pop any bubbles with a toothpick or fork.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes at 325℉, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
