Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together all ingredients in a bowl.

- Bake in a 400°F oven for 15 minutes.
- Reduce the temperature to 325°F and bake for an additional 45 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using fresh pumpkin instead of canned, and add a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth. If you don't have pie spice, a mix of allspice and ginger can work as a substitute. To enhance sweetness, you could also add a bit of maple syrup or honey to the filling.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pumpkin pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with cranberry sauce or a slice of Date And Nut Cake for a festive spread. Enjoy it as a dessert or a sweet treat with coffee or tea.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover pumpkin pie in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container, for up to 3 days. If you want to keep it longer, consider freezing it. To reheat, thaw overnight in the fridge and warm in a 350°F oven for about 15 minutes until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a store-bought pie crust?
Yes, a store-bought pie crust is a convenient option and will save time. Just ensure it's unbaked and fits your pie dish properly. Follow the package instructions for any pre-baking if necessary.
What can I use if I don't have milk?
If you need a dairy-free option, almond milk or coconut milk can work well in this recipe. Both will maintain the pie's creamy texture and flavor without compromising taste.
How do I know when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the filling is set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center. You can insert a knife into the filling; it should come out clean if the pie is ready. Keep an eye on it during the last few minutes of baking.
