Ingredients
1 15-ounce can pumpkin puree
1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare your pie crust by placing it into a 9-inch pie dish and crimping the edges.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust and smooth the top.
5. Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 35-40 minutes.
6. Remove from oven when the center is just slightly jiggly. A knife inserted near the center should come out mostly clean.
7. Cool the pie at room temperature for 2 hours, then refrigerate for another 1-2 hours before serving.
8. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.
Notes
Use a foil ring or pie shield halfway through baking to prevent the crust edges from burning.
Let the pie chill completely before slicing for the cleanest cut and best texture.
You can make the pie a day ahead—flavors deepen overnight in the fridge.
