How to Make Best Ever Pumpkin Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, until smooth and well combined.
  4. Carefully pour the pumpkin mixture into your prepared 9-inch pie crust.
  5. Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C).
  6. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Continue baking for an additional 50-60 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil.
  8. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to set properly and enhances the flavor.
