Homemade Pumpkin Pie
Description
Homemade Pumpkin Pie combines pureed pumpkin with evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, and a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt to create a traditional custard filling. The filling is poured into unbaked 9-inch pie crusts and baked at 350°F for about an hour until set.
The spices give the pie a warm, comforting aroma and flavor, while the custard texture is silky and holds its form well. Baking the pies in two crusts allows you to serve or share easily and provides a buttery, flaky base that contrasts nicely with the smooth filling.
After baking, the pie is best served at room temperature or chilled. Common toppings include whipped cream, nuts, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream to complement the sweet, spiced pumpkin flavor. This pie stores well in the refrigerator for a few days and freezes nicely for longer keeping.
Allow the pies to cool to room temperature before covering to maintain texture and freshness. Reheating should be gentle to avoid cracking or drying out the filling.
Ingredients
- 4 egg large
- 1 (29-ounce) can pumpkin puree
- 3 cups evaporated milk
- 1½ cups sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon cloves ground
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 (9-inch) pie crust store bought or homemade, unbaked
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl, lightly beat eggs with a hand mixer on low speed until well blended. Add pumpkin, milk, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt. Mix until well blended.
- Place pie crusts in two 9-inch pie pans and poke holes in the crusts with a fork to prevent bubbles. Crimp edges of each crust.
- Divide filling evenly between pie crusts and bake for 1 hour, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Notes
- Store pumpkin pie loosely covered in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.
- Cool the pie completely at room temperature before refrigerating to maintain texture.
- For longer storage, wrap tightly and freeze for up to two months; thaw completely in the fridge before serving.
- Top with whipped cream, nuts, or ice cream for serving variations.
