Why You’ll Love This Tasty Pumpkin Pie

This pie hits the sweet spot between tradition and indulgence. It has that nostalgic flavor you expect from pumpkin pie, but with a texture that’s impossibly creamy and a crust that stays crisp. No soggy bottoms here! It also holds up well if made a day in advance, making it perfect for gatherings.

What Kind of Pumpkin Should I Use?

Go for canned pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. The puree gives you full control over the sweetness and spice levels, while still delivering that earthy pumpkin flavor. If you’re adventurous, roasted fresh pumpkin puree works too—just make sure it’s well-strained and smooth.

How To Make the Tasty Pumpkin Pie

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

Press your pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges. Chill it in the fridge while you prepare the filling to help keep it firm during baking.

Step 2: Mix the Filling

In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, and all the spices. Add the vanilla and a pinch of salt, then stir until smooth and well combined.

Step 3: Fill and Bake

Pour the filling into your prepared crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350°F and continue baking for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly wobbly.

Step 4: Cool and Serve

Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack. Chill for at least 2 hours before slicing to help the filling set. Serve with whipped cream or a dusting of cinnamon.

Serving and Storing This Creamy Pumpkin Pie

This Tasty Pumpkin Pie serves 8 generous slices, perfect for a family gathering or friendly potluck. Serve it slightly chilled or at room temperature with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Store any leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days. It also freezes beautifully: wrap tightly in plastic and foil, then thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
