Ingredient Swaps and Additions

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to get things nice and toasty.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree and sweetened condensed milk. You’ll love how easy this is!
3. Add in your eggs, along with the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, and cloves. Whisk together until everything is well mixed—this is where the magic starts!
4. Pour this sumptuous pumpkin mixture into your unbaked pie crust, spreading it evenly.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. This helps set the pie and brings out the flavors beautifully.
6. After that, reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue to bake for another 35-40 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. That smile when you know it’s done is priceless!
7. Let the pie cool on a wire rack before serving. It’s fantastic warm or after a few hours in the fridge for a firmer texture.
**Serving Suggestions**
Serve it with a dollop of freshly whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream to really take it over the top! A sprinkle of nutmeg or cinnamon on the whipped cream adds a touch of elegance.
Pro Tips for Success
To ensure your pie crust stays perfectly flaky, make sure not to overwork the dough. Also, for a flawless filling, allow your ingredients to come to room temperature before mixing. This guarantees a smooth and silky filling.
Storing and Reheating
Store any leftover pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To enjoy it warm, simply reheat individual slices in the microwave for 15-30 seconds, or pop it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
