Ingredients
Crust
- 1 Dark, Blind-Baked Pie Shell
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
- 4 tsp cinnamon
- 3.5 tsp ginger
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp cloves
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream (optional ; for brushing the crust)
Instructions
Prepare a Pie Crust
- Prepare a pie shell of your choosing. I suggest a dark, blind-baked, all-butter pie crust.
Preheat the oven to 325℉
Mix the Pumpkin Pie Filling
- 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.
Assemble the Pumpkin Pie
- 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 the Pumpkin Pie
- Bake for 35-40 minutes at 325℉, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
- Cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
- Transfer the pie to the refrigerator until ready to serve.
