Why You’ll Love This Simple Pumpkin Pie With Condensed Milk

This recipe is as easy as pie—literally. There’s no need to worry about complicated custards or double boilers. The filling comes together in one bowl and bakes beautifully in a pre-made or homemade crust. The result? A smooth, sliceable pie with a custard-like filling that’s spiced to perfection.

What Kind of Crust Should I Use for Pumpkin Pie?

You can absolutely use a store-bought frozen pie crust or refrigerated pie dough if you’re short on time. But if you’re up for it, a homemade buttery crust will add that extra layer of deliciousness. Blind baking the crust for a few minutes before filling helps avoid a soggy bottom and gives you a crisper bite.

Ingredients for the Simple Pumpkin Pie With Condensed Milk

When it comes to pumpkin pie, less is more. Each ingredient in this recipe has a purpose, working together to create that smooth and spiced filling everyone loves.

• Pumpkin puree: The star of the show. Make sure it’s pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling.
• Sweetened condensed milk: This adds creaminess and all the sweetness you need, eliminating the need for extra sugar.
• Eggs: Essential for binding the filling and giving the pie structure.
• Pumpkin pie spice: A warm mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves for that signature flavor.
• Salt: Just a pinch enhances all the other flavors.
• Pie crust: Your base. Use a 9-inch crust, store-bought or homemade.

How To Make the Simple Pumpkin Pie With Condensed Milk

Step 1: Prep Your Oven and Crust

Preheat your oven to 425°F. If you’re using a homemade crust, roll it out and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges and optionally blind bake for 8 minutes to avoid a soggy bottom.

Step 2: Mix the Filling

In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until completely smooth and well combined.

Step 3: Fill and Bake

Pour the filling into the prepared crust. Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes. Then reduce the heat to 350°F and continue baking for another 35-40 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.

Step 4: Cool and Serve

Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours. This helps the filling set. Serve at room temperature or chilled with a dollop of whipped cream.

Serving and Storing Pumpkin Pie

This pumpkin pie is perfect for holiday gatherings and cozy weekends alike. It yields about 8 slices, making it ideal for small family dinners or sharing with friends. Leftovers can be stored covered in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also freeze the entire pie—just wrap it well in plastic wrap and foil.

To serve, bring it back to room temperature or enjoy it cold. A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a generous swirl of whipped cream on top takes it to the next level.
