Ingredients for Absolutely Perfect Pumpkin Pie

  • 15 ounces (425g) pumpkin puree
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • Ground Cinnamon
  • Ground Cloves
  • Ground Ginger
  • Ground Nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Unbaked Pie Shells

How to Make Absolutely Perfect Pumpkin Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, beat 2 large eggs until light and frothy.
  3. Stir in 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. Add 15 ounces (425g) pumpkin puree and mix until completely smooth.
  5. Gradually stir in 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, mixing until fully incorporated and smooth.
  6. Pour the mixture into your prepared 9-inch pie crust.
  7. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes.
  8. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 40-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, loosely cover the edges with aluminum foil.
  9. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to set properly.
  10. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
