Ingredients
Scale
Pie Filling
- 1 can (15 oz) Libby’s 100% Pure 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 (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking the pie.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin pie mix, evaporated milk, and eggs. Mix thoroughly until the filling is smooth and all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Pour into Pie Shell: Pour the pumpkin filling into the unbaked 9-inch deep dish pie crust, spreading it evenly.
- Bake Initial High Heat: Bake the pie in the preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes. This helps set the filling.
- Reduce Oven Temperature: After 15 minutes, 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: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack. Cooling allows the filling to set properly.
- Serve: Serve each slice with a dollop of Cool whip or whipped topping if desired.
Notes
- Use a deep dish pie shell to ensure enough room for the filling.
- Let the pie cool completely before slicing to avoid a runny filling.
- Eggs and evaporated milk are essential for the custard-like texture.
- Optional topping with whipped cream complements the spiced pumpkin flavor.
- Store leftovers refrigerated and consume within 3-4 days.
