How to Make No Crust Lighter Pumpkin Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 10x1 1/2 inch pie plate with cooking spray.
  3. **Prepare the Brown Sugar Topping:** In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon chopped pecans (optional). Set aside.
  4. **Combine Pie Filling:** In a blender or food processor, combine the following ingredients in order: 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk, 2 large eggs, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Cover and blend on medium speed until completely smooth and creamy.
  6. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared pie plate. Sprinkle evenly with the brown sugar topping.
  7. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. The pie should be set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center.
  8. Let the pie cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the pie to fully chill.
