This best pumpkin pie recipe came about after many years of experimentation. I’ve finally perfected what I think is the ideal formula for a rich pumpkin pie that’s much less likely to crack on top. Serve garnished with whipped cream and freshly grated nutmeg.
Ingredients
- 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 large egg
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon fine salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon Chinese 5-spice powder
- 1 9-inch unbaked pie crust (see footnote for recipe link)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Step 2
Whisk together pumpkin, egg yolks, and egg in a large bowl until smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk, cinnamon, ginger, salt, nutmeg, and Chinese 5-spice powder; whisk until thoroughly combined.
Step 3
Line a 9-inch pie plate with pie crust; crimp edges.
Step 4
Pour filling into crust; lightly tap on the counter to release air bubbles.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Step 6
Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake until just set in the middle, 30 to 40 more minutes. A paring knife inserted into the filling, 1 inch from the edge, should come out clean. Allow to cool completely before serving.
Chef’s Note:
Get the recipe for Chef John’s Easy Homemade Pie Crust. If desired, substitute 1 pinch each of ground star anise, ground cloves, and ground white pepper for five-spice powder.
