Ingredients
Scale
Pie Filling
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Crust
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (9-inch)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for baking the pie evenly.
- Mix filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, large eggs, and pumpkin pie spice. Whisk the ingredients together thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring even spice distribution.
- Fill crust: Pour the prepared pumpkin filling evenly into the pre-made graham cracker crust, spreading it lightly to fill the crust completely.
- Bake the pie: Place the pie on the center rack of the oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the filling is set; you can test doneness by inserting a toothpick near the center—it should come out clean.
- Cool the pie: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack to room temperature. This step helps the filling firm up before chilling.
- Refrigerate: Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to allow it to fully set and enhance the flavors, making it easier to slice and serve.
- Serve: Serve the chilled pumpkin pie slices as is or topped with whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute sweetened condensed coconut milk and use an alternative crust such as a nut and date blend.
- Adding a pinch of salt or vanilla extract can provide extra depth of flavor.
- To enhance the spice profile, consider adding a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg along with the pumpkin pie spice.
- This recipe is a great choice for last-minute guests, using pantry staples and pre-made crusts for quick preparation.
