How to Make Molasses Pumpkin Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk, 2 large eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup molasses, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until smooth and well combined.
  3. Pour the pumpkin mixture into your prepared 9-inch pie crust.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C).
  5. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Continue baking for 35-40 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, loosely cover the edges with aluminum foil.
  7. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to set properly.
  8. Garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon (optional) before serving.
