Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine gelatine, cinnamon, ginger, salt, condensed milk, and beaten eggs in a saucepan over low heat until the gelatine dissolves, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the pumpkin until well blended.
- Pour the mixture into the baked pie shells.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 3 hours before serving.
- Garnish with Cool Whip and chopped pecans before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
To ensure the gelatin fully dissolves, stir continuously and avoid letting the mixture boil. For a lighter texture, consider folding in whipped cream before chilling. For a variation, substitute pumpkin with sweet potato puree for a different flavor. If you prefer a sweeter pie, you can add a little sugar or maple syrup to taste.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pie chilled, garnished with a generous dollop of Cool Whip and a sprinkle of chopped pecans for added crunch. It pairs beautifully with Baked French Toast for a delightful brunch spread or as a sweet ending to a fall dinner. Consider serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain the texture, avoid freezing this pie, as the gelatin may not set properly after thawing. If needed, you can serve chilled slices directly from the fridge without reheating.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk in this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute the Eagle Brand milk with sweetened condensed coconut milk for a dairy-free option. Just keep in mind that it may slightly alter the flavor and sweetness of the pie.

The pie is set when it has a firm, jiggly texture and holds its shape when sliced. After chilling for 3 hours, gently shake the pie to check for any movement in the filling. If it wobbles slightly but is not liquid, it's ready.
