Crustless Pumpkin Pie Ingredients

- Sugar - granulated sugar
- Sugar - packed light brown sugar

Before you reach for the can opener, make sure you’re using pumpkin puree for this recipe, and not canned pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin puree, sometimes labeled as 100% pumpkin, doesn’t contain any additional sugar, spices, or flavors that pumpkin pie filling does.
Serve your pumpkin pie cooled to room temperature or even chilled if desired. If you prefer your pie chilled you can prepare it a day or two ahead of time and then let it chill in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve. Just make sure to loosely cover it with plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
If you want a bit of crunch to replace the bite from the crust, chopped candied pecans would make a delectable topping to your crustless pie. While whipped topping is a classic garnish for pumpkin pie, a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dusting of cinnamon would taste delicious as well.
How to Make Crustless Pumpkin Pie
FIRST STEP: Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
SECOND STEP: Spray a 9” pie pan very lightly with non-stick spray.
THIRD STEP: In a small bowl, stir the evaporated milk and cornstarch until smooth.
FOURTH STEP: In a large mixing bowl, whisk all ingredients and the milk mixture together until completely blended.

FIFTH STEP: Pour the pie filling into the pie pan.
SIXTH STEP: Bake for 1 hr and 5 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center of the pie comes away clean.
SEVENTH STEP: Allow pie to completely cool.
EIGHTH STEP: Top with whipped topping if desired.
What toppings go well with pumpkin pie?
Whipped topping is the classic garnish for pumpkin pie, but other tasty toppings include a scoop of ice cream, a dusting of cinnamon, or a sprinkle of chopped pecans.
Can you freeze pumpkin pie?
You can freeze completely cooled pumpkin pie. Wrap it tightly in foil or plastic wrap and place it in a Ziploc bag. Store in the freezer for up to four months.
What’s the Difference Between Pumpkin Pie Filling and Canned Pumpkin?
Pumpkin puree, also labeled as 100% pumpkin, doesn’t contain any additional sugar, spices, or flavors, and is often used in baking. Pumpkin pie filling comes flavored with spices such as cloves, cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg.

How to Store Crustless Pumpkin Pie
IN THE FRIDGE: Cover leftover pumpkin pie loosely with foil or plastic and store in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
IN THE FREEZER: Allow pie to cool completely and then wrap tightly in foil or plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe resealable bag. Store in the freezer for up to 4 months. Defrost in the refrigerator before serving.
