Print Recipe

This incredibly simple pumpkin pie uses just three ingredients for the filling and comes together in minutes. It’s the perfect make-ahead dessert for entertaining, with a silky texture and perfectly spiced flavor that will impress your guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin pie spice blend
  • 1 pre-made 9-inch pie crust (frozen or refrigerated)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Position the oven rack in the center.
  2. Take your pie crust out of the fridge or freezer. If frozen, let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Gently press it into your pie dish, crimping the edges if desired.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk until completely smooth and uniform in color, about 30 seconds.
  4. Add the pumpkin pie spice blend and whisk thoroughly until no clumps remain.
  5. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. Use a rubber spatula to scrape every last bit out of the bowl. Gently tap the pie dish on the counter a few times to release air bubbles.
  6. Place the pie in the oven and bake at 425°F for 15 minutes.
  7. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) without opening the door. Continue baking for 35-45 minutes. The pie is done when the edges are set and slightly puffed, and the center still has a slight jiggle (like firm Jell-O). A knife inserted about an inch from the center should come out clean.
  8. Check the crust about halfway through baking. If the edges are browning too quickly, cover them with strips of foil or a pie shield.
  9. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack. Plan for at least 2-3 hours at room temperature, or overnight in the fridge.
  10. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature ingredients. Do not overmix the filling. The pie tastes even better the next day. For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free sweetened condensed milk. For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free pie crust. To make your own pumpkin pie spice blend: mix 1 tablespoon cinnamon, 2 teaspoons ginger, 1 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon allspice.
