Ingredients

Pumpkin Pie Filling

  • 15 ounce canned pumpkin puree 1 can of Libby's Pumpkin Puree
  • 4 ounces cream cheese Must be super soft, room temperature. You can leave this out if you're afraid of cream cheese clumps. I love the flavor but you can skip this.
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp cornstartch
  • 12 ounces evapertated milk
  • 2 tbsp melted butter either salted or not salted

Instructions

Easy Pie Crust

  • This perfect and easy buttery pie crust is foolproof and works every time. It’s a forgiving crust that you won’t have a problem making! I use this recipe for almost all of my pies and it’s always perfect! Follow here for the recipe!

Pumpkin Pie Filling

  • Cream cheese must be super soft, so when it’s whipped in the mixer, there are zero clumps. You can leave it out for a few hours or quickly soften it in a bowl in the microwave for about 45 seconds. Furthermore, you can leave this out if you're nervous about cream cheese clumps.
  • Using an electric mixer and paddle attachment, whip the super soft cream cheese and eggs on high. 
  • Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and add in both sugars, pumpkin, ginger, cornstarch cloves, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Mix on medium until combined. 
  • With the mixer on low, slowly add in the evaporated milk and melted butter. 
  • Continue to mix the pumpkin pie batter until everything is blended together.
  • Brush an egg yolk wash over the crust of the pie so it becomes a pretty shade of golden brown.
  • Pour into the pie crust and bake in a preheated 425-degree oven for 10 minutes. 
  • Turn the oven to 350 degrees and bake for another 40 - 45 minutes.
  • If needed, cover the edges of the crust with tinfoil so it doesn’t burn. You can wait to do this until it's been baking for a but. You want a nice golden brown crust.
  • The center of the pie will be just slightly jiggly when it’s done. 
  • Add another 10 minutes if it needs more time to set.
