Ingredients
Scale
Pie Filling
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin pie mix
- 5 ounces evaporated milk
- 2 large eggs
Pie Crust
- 1 unbaked 9-inch deep dish pie shell
Serving
- Cool whip or whipped topping (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking the pie.
- Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin pie mix, evaporated milk, and eggs. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and uniform in texture.
- Fill Pie Shell: Pour the pumpkin filling evenly into the unbaked 9-inch deep dish pie shell, spreading it out gently.
- Bake Pie: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 40 to 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Cool Pie: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack. This cooling step helps the filling to set properly.
- Serve: Once cooled, slice the pie and serve with a dollop of Cool Whip or whipped topping for added creaminess and flavor.
Notes
- Be careful not to overbake the pie to avoid cracking the filling.
- You can use a homemade pie crust if preferred instead of a store-bought shell.
- Ensure the eggs and evaporated milk are well incorporated for a smooth filling consistency.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute evaporated milk with a suitable alternative and use a dairy-free whipped topping.
- This pie tastes best when served chilled or at room temperature.
