Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can (15 oz) Libby’s 100% Pure Pumpkin
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • 9-inch pie dish
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) so the crust begins baking immediately once the pie goes into the oven.
  2. In a large mixing bowl combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
  3. Gradually stir in the evaporated milk while mixing until the filling becomes smooth and pourable.
  4. Place the unbaked 9-inch pie crust into a pie dish and carefully pour the pumpkin filling into the crust.
  5. Bake the pie at 425°F for 15 minutes.
  6. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 40–50 minutes until the center is slightly set.
  7. Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing so the custard can fully set.

Notes

For best results, avoid overbaking the pie. The center should appear slightly soft when removed from the oven because the custard continues to set while cooling. Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing to ensure a clean cut. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a classic holiday dessert.
