Ingredients

  • 1 refrigerated pie crust (9-inch)
  • 15 oz can canned pumpkin puree
  • 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • as needed whipped cream (for serving)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Unroll 1 refrigerated pie crust (9-inch) and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges and refrigerate while you make the filling.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together 15 oz can canned pumpkin puree, 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk, 2 large eggs, 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and 1 tsp pure vanilla extract until completely smooth.

  3. 3

    Pour the filling into the prepared crust. Cover the crust rim with a pie shield or strips of aluminum foil to prevent overbrowning.

  4. 4

    Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350°F and continue baking for 40-45 minutes, until the edges are set and the center still jiggles slightly.

  5. 5

    Remove from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours. The filling will firm up fully as it cools.

  6. 6

    Slice and serve with whipped cream (for serving).

Questions

Can I make Pumpkin Pie dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk, as needed whipped cream (for serving). Swap the sweetened condensed milk for a plant-based version of the same product; the cream for full-fat coconut milk or an oat cooking cream. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

How long does Pumpkin Pie keep?

Store it airtight: two to three days at room temperature or up to a week refrigerated. It freezes for up to two months; thaw at room temperature.

Can I halve or double Pumpkin Pie?

Yes. As written it serves 8. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, split it across two pans and rotate them halfway; one crowded pan bakes unevenly.
