How to Make Favorite Pumpkin Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, mash the drained pumpkin puree.
  3. Add the egg yolks, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, salt, and sugar to the pumpkin puree.
  4. Stir until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the egg whites into the pumpkin mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Pour the filling into the unbaked pie crust.
  8. Bake for 40-50 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.
  9. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. For best results, chill for at least 2 hours.
  10. Top with whipped cream, if desired, and enjoy!
