Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs, slightly beaten
- 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
- 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Spray a 9-inch pie pan with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, add ¾ cup granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, and ¼ teaspoon ground cloves. Whisk thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Into the bowl with dry ingredients, add 2 slightly beaten large eggs, 1 (15-ounce) can of pumpkin puree, and 1 (12-ounce) can of evaporated milk. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Alternatively, combine all ingredients in a blender and blend on high speed for about 20 seconds until fully blended.
- Pour into Pan: Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared 9-inch pie pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake: Bake the pie for 50 to 60 minutes. The pie is done when the edges are fully set and when you gently jiggle the center, it should still have a slight wobble.
- Cool and Chill: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 1 hour at room temperature. Then place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours before serving. Optionally, top with whipped cream before serving.
Notes
- Use a blender for a very smooth filling texture if desired.
- Make sure not to overbake; a slight wobble in the center ensures a creamy texture.
- Chilling the pie thoroughly helps it set properly and enhances the flavors.
- You can add whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top before serving for extra flavor.
