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.

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.
