Ingredients
1 (15 oz) can pure pumpkin puree
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
Optional whipped cream
Optional toasted pecans
Optional mini marshmallows
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). If desired, blind bake pie crust for 10 minutes with pie weights. Let cool slightly.
2. In a large bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, spices, salt, and vanilla until smooth.
3. Pour filling into prepared pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
4. Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°F (175°C) and bake an additional 35–40 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
5. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack for 2 hours to allow custard to set.
6. Once cooled, top with whipped cream, toasted pecans, or browned mini marshmallows if desired.
7. Slice and serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
Always use pure pumpkin puree—not pumpkin pie filling—to control flavor and sweetness.
Avoid overbaking to prevent cracks; remove from oven when center is slightly jiggly.
Let the pie chill at least 2 hours for clean slices and best flavor.
