Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 can 15 oz. Libby’s 100% Pure Pumpkin
  • 1 can 12 fl. oz. Nestlé Carnation Evaporated Milk
  • 1 unbaked 9-inch deep-dish pie shell

Method
 

  1. Preheat & Prepare: Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Place your unbaked deep-dish pie shell onto a baking sheet for easier handling.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, thoroughly combine the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, salt, ground ginger, and ground cloves.
  3. Beat Eggs & Add Pumpkin: In a large mixing bowl, beat the 2 large eggs lightly. Stir in the Libby’s 100% Pure Pumpkin and your prepared sugar-spice mixture until fully blended.
  4. Incorporate Milk: Gradually pour and stir in the evaporated milk until the batter becomes completely smooth and uniform.
  5. Initial Bake: Carefully pour the mixture into the pie shell. Bake at 425°F (218°C) for exactly 15 minutes.
  6. Reduce Heat & Finish: Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C). Continue baking for another 40 to 50 minutes until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. (Note: The center should still have a slight jiggle like gelatin).
  7. Cool & Serve: Remove from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing. Top with whipped cream before serving if desired.
