Classic Creamy Pumpkin Pie

Ingredients

Pie crust

1 (9-inch)

Canned pumpkin puree

1 can (15 ounces)

Sweetened condensed milk

1 can (14 ounces)

Eggs

2, large

Pumpkin pie spice

1 teaspoon

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Whipped cream

for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, ensuring it is well-fitted and the edges are crimped.
3. In a large bowl, vigorously whisk together the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
4. Carefully pour the pumpkin mixture into the pie crust, making sure it is evenly spread.
5. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for another 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is firmly set and the crust is a golden brown.
6. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. This will help the pie set and make it easier to slice.
7. Refrigerate the cooled pie for at least 2 hours before serving. This enhances the pie's flavors and firmness.
8. Serve the pumpkin pie chilled, with a generous dollop of whipped cream on top. Enjoy!
