🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Make sure it's nice and toasty—it'll help get that golden-brown crust we all crave! This step is crucial for even baking.
- Get your pie crust ready. You can make your own or grab a store-bought one (we don't judge!). I usually buy a premade crust to save some time, but my friends swears she makes the best crust ever!
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sugar, eggs, spices, and salt. Mix until everything's well combined. No lumps allowed! I find that using a whisk helps to get a really smooth, lovely mix.
- Carefully pour the pumpkin filling into your pie crust. I usually use a rubber spatula to make sure I get every delicious drop in, making sure to spread it evenly.
- Place the pie on a cookie sheet to catch any spills (trust me on this one, I’ve had a few close calls!). Slide it into that preheated oven.
- Bake the pie for 50-60 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, gently cover the edges with aluminum foil—this ensures the crust doesn't burn before the filling is set.
- Once it's baked, let the pie cool completely on a wire rack. This is important—rushing this step may result in a soggy bottom! Let it cool at room temperature for at least two hours, or even better, overnight in the fridge.
- Before serving, top with your favorite whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of caramel sauce. Get creative! I love adding a touch of extra cinnamon myself because I think it really brings out the flavor of the pumpkin.
- Serve and enjoy! This is the moment we've all been waiting for. Slice, serve, and savor every bite of your delicious pumpkin pie. I hope you enjoy this recipe. Share it with friends and family!
📝 Notes
- For a richer flavor, use fresh pumpkin puree instead of canned. However, it takes much longer to make.
- Adjust sugar based on sweetness preference.
- Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg or allspice for extra warmth
