Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of unsweetened almond milk instead of regular milk. You can also substitute the margarine with coconut oil for a different flavor profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh pumpkin instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh pumpkin puree instead of canned. Just make sure to roast the pumpkin until it's soft, then blend it until smooth before adding it to your mixture. This will give your pie a fresh flavor that many prefer.
Is there a way to make this pie crustless?
Absolutely! You can turn this into a crustless pumpkin pie by simply greasing a pie dish and pouring the filling directly into it. It will bake similarly and still taste delicious, making it a great option for those avoiding crusts.
How can I enhance the flavor of this pumpkin pie?
To enhance the flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg along with the pumpkin pie spice. These additions can provide a deeper, more complex flavor profile to your pie.
