Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 large eggs, slightly beaten
- 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
- 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and spray a 9-inch pie pan with pan spray.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Add ¾ cup granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, and ¼ teaspoon ground cloves to a large bowl and whisk until combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add 2 large eggs, 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree, and 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk to the sugar mixture and whisk until smooth and evenly combined. Alternatively, add all the ingredients to a large blender at the same time and blend on high speed for about 20 seconds until fully combined.
- Pour into Pan: Pour the pumpkin pie mixture into the prepared pie pan.
- Bake: Bake for 50-60 minutes, until the very center has a slight wobble and the edges are fully set when slightly jiggled.
- Cool and Chill: Let the pie cool for at least an hour before chilling in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving. Top with whipped cream, if desired.
Notes
- Ensure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature for even baking.
- Don’t overbake the pie; it will continue to set as it cools.
- For a richer flavor, use pumpkin pie spice instead of individual spices.
- Serve chilled with whipped cream or a dollop of vanilla ice cream.
