Ingredients

1 pie crust gluten-free pie crust works well, too
1 15- ounce can 100% pure pumpkin
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
1 cup canned evaporated milk
1 14- ounce can sweetened condensed milk
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
Whipped cream for serving
Freshly ground nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice for serving

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Roll out and fit the pie crust to a 9” pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges of the crust and set aside.
In the basin of a blender, combine the pumpkin, salt, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, and egg yolks. Blend on medium speed until silky smooth.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-55 minutes, or until a thin knife inserted about 1” from the center of the pie comes out cleanly. To prevent cracking, turn off the oven, crack open the door, and allow the pie to slowly cool as the oven cools over the course of a couple of hours.
When pie is completely cool, slice and serve topped with fresh whipped cream and nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice.

Notes

For a gluten-free pie, I recommend this recipe for gluten-free pie crust!
Instead of the mixture of spices in the pie, you can replace it with 1 tablespoon of good-quality pumpkin pie spice.
If you are making your own pie crust, adding a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice to the crust is a nice touch.
You can also make the filling by hand using a whisk or using an electric hand mixer, but your results won’t be quite as silky smooth—but it will still be delicious!
