Delicious Pumpkin Pie Filling

Delicious Pumpkin Pie Filling

Overflowing with flavor, this pumpkin pie recipe is my absolute favorite. It is rich, smooth, and tastes amazing when paired with my homemade pie crust, sugared cranberries, and whipped cream.

"This may sound exaggerated, but this is the finest pumpkin pie I have ever tasted, truly! To be honest, I was apprehensive due to the quantity of spices… I feared it might be too ‘spicy,’ but it turned out perfect. The texture is smooth… yet not mushy, with a delightful medley of flavors all at once, it’s fantastic!

Pumpkin cookies, pumpkin bars, pumpkin lattes, pumpkin cupcakes, pumpkin bread, pumpkin cake, and pumpkin Bundt cake, but HELLO, what about pumpkin pie?? My Great Pumpkin Pie Recipe is available today.

Did you know that finding the ideal pumpkin pie recipe is far more difficult than one might think!? Fresh pumpkin, canned pumpkin, ginger, no ginger, brown sugar, white sugar, cornstarch, flour, no cornstarch, no flour…?

However, I have finally cracked the pumpkin pie code. I was raised in a household of pumpkin pie enthusiasts, and no Thanksgiving was complete without a nap and a generous slice of pumpkin pie. What I mean to convey is that my expectations for this traditional Thanksgiving dessert are quite high.

“I have been making pumpkin pies for decades, and none have compared to this one. The frosted cranberries and small pastry leaves were an excellent touch. The homemade pie dough was incredible as well. We had some leftover filling and baked it in ramekins. Outstanding all around.

Pie Crust

Let’s begin with the pie crust. Every pumpkin pie must start with an exceptional pie crust. My homemade pie crust combines shortening and butter to create the most buttery, tender, and flaky (so flaky) pie crust. It is simple to prepare. Additionally, I have a video tutorial and step-by-step photos in my pie crust recipe.

If you choose to forgo the leaf decorations on top, you will have a second pie crust available to use for

If you choose to forgo the leaf decorations on top, you will have a second pie crust available for creating leftover turkey pot pie, mini pecan pies, or even a straightforward pear tarte tatin! Alternatively, if you prefer a thicker pie crust, you can utilize some of your second pie crust to create a decorative crimped or fluted edge. My tutorial on how to crimp and flute pie crust will guide you through each step.

Fresh or Canned Pumpkin in Pumpkin Pie?

I experimented with this recipe using both fresh and canned pumpkin, and I found that I preferred the pie made with canned pumpkin. The canned pumpkin pie (try saying that three times quickly) was slightly sturdier when baked for the same duration. In contrast, the pie made with fresh pumpkin puree had a grainy texture and a somewhat… herbaceous flavor? I tend to favor fresh pumpkin puree for savory dishes rather than desserts. Ultimately, the choice is yours; you may opt for either fresh or canned pumpkin.

Other Ingredients in Pumpkin Pie

Eggs. Eggs are essential for setting the pumpkin pie filling, providing it with a rich and luxurious texture.

Heavy cream. Heavy cream contributes to the silky smoothness of pumpkin pie. It is thick, creamy, and absolutely divine in this pumpkin pie recipe. I typically use 1 cup of heavy cream along with 1/4 cup of milk. I discovered that using 1 and 1/4 cups of heavy cream (or more) was simply excessive—too thick and too gloppy! Additionally, you can use the heavy cream to prepare homemade whipped cream for the topping.

Cornstarch. A starch thickener is a crucial component in pie filling. I incorporate a small amount of cornstarch in my pumpkin pie as it aids in setting the pie, making it a bit sturdier and firmer while maintaining a smooth consistency.

My Secret Ingredient

This may sound quite unusual, but I add freshly ground black pepper to my pumpkin pie filling. It is indeed peculiar, I understand. However, I am serious. I received this tip from the brilliant kitchen team at King Arthur Baking, and I am eternally thankful. This simple addition transforms your pumpkin pie into the BEST pumpkin pie. No one will realize it is there except for you, and they will all be left wondering what makes this spiced pie so exceptional… it’s just a pinch of pepper.

I actually incorporate it into my homemade pumpkin pie spice blend as well! You are welcome to substitute the ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and black pepper listed below with my homemade spice. (However, do keep the cinnamon in the filling!)

How to Prevent Cracks in Pumpkin Pie

This pumpkin pie is silky yet thick, and it slices beautifully as long as it is baked for the appropriate duration. The baking time is approximately 55-60 minutes. At this point, the center of the pumpkin pie will have a slight wobble. It will firm up as it cools. Be cautious not to overbake; overbaking will result in cracks in the filling.

P.S.: For some exciting variations on this classic, consider trying this recipe as mini pumpkin pies, with a crunchy topping on pecan praline pumpkin pie, or with additional spices in chai pumpkin meringue pie. You can also prepare pumpkin hand pies or pumpkin cheesecake pie!

Thus, from my kitchen to yours, enjoy The Great Pumpkin Pie Recipe. If you seek further inspiration for your dessert table, here is a compilation of all our favorite Thanksgiving pies along with a list of over 30 best pumpkin dessert recipes.

Notes

Make Ahead & Freezing Instructions: Pumpkin pie freezes effectively for up to 3 months. Thaw it overnight in the refrigerator prior to serving. Pie crust dough also freezes well for up to 3 months. Thaw it overnight in the refrigerator before use.

If you plan to decorate your pie with sugared cranberries, begin preparing them the night before. You should also start the pie crust the night before (the dough requires at least 2 hours to chill; overnight is optimal).

The filling can be prepared the night before as well. In fact, I prefer it that way, as it allows the spices, pumpkin, and brown sugar flavors to meld and develop. It’s fantastic. Cover and refrigerate overnight. There is no need to bring it to room temperature before baking.

Pumpkin Pie Filling Recipe 2

The ultimate Pumpkin Pie recipe is flawless in every aspect, and you have the option to enhance it with a delightful homemade caramel pecan topping that elevates it to new heights!

Pie, magnificent pie! There are few desserts I cherish more on this entire planet than pie (except for a delectable chocolate cake, of course!). I have shared most of my beloved pie recipes with you, including my Grandma's Lemon Chiffon Pie and Chocolate Cream Pie.

We can likely all concur that Pumpkin Pie is the quintessential Thanksgiving dessert. I have experimented with numerous recipes, and I truly appreciate the simplicity and perfect flavor and texture of the traditional Libby's pumpkin pie recipe. It has been tried and tested by millions, proving to be the best pumpkin pie recipe!

You can elevate it by serving a slice with a dollop of warm, scrumptious caramel pecan topping. There is no pie that deserves the title of “Queen Bee” more!

Instructions for making Pumpkin Pie from scratch:

Combine: Whisk the eggs and canned pumpkin puree together. In a separate bowl, mix the sugar, cinnamon, salt, ginger, and cloves, then incorporate this mixture into the pumpkin blend.

Eggs, pumpkin, sugar, and spices in a glass mixing bowl to create the batter for pumpkin pie from scratch.

Add Evaporated Milk: Evaporated milk can be replaced with half and half or cream.

Evaporated milk being added to a pumpkin batter for a simple pumpkin pie.

Bake: Pour the mixture into an unbaked pie shell and bake at 425 degrees F for 15 minutes to firm up the crust, then lower the temperature to 350 and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until set.

Prepare Caramel Pecan Topping (optional): I enjoy making a straightforward Caramel Pecan Topping for guests to drizzle over their slice of pie, if they wish. It can be prepared in about 5 minutes, using a saucepan with brown sugar, whipped cream, corn syrup, butter, pecans, and vanilla extract. I have included the complete recipe in the notes of the printable recipe card.

Pro Tips:

Use an unbaked crust: For pumpkin pie, an unbaked pie shell is essential (Homemade is preferable – here are my step-by-step photos and video tutorial, although store-bought options are also acceptable). You will observe that we begin baking the pumpkin pie at a high temperature, which helps the pie crust to set, and subsequently, we reduce the baking temperature for the remainder of the cooking time. Therefore, it is unnecessary to blind bake (pre-bake the crust) for this straightforward pumpkin pie recipe.

How to determine when Pumpkin Pie is ready: The simplest method to check if a pumpkin pie is fully cooked is to gently jiggle the pan while using an oven mitt. If the center is excessively jiggly, it requires additional time. A slight jiggle in the center is acceptable, as it will continue to firm up as it cools. Alternatively, it is considered done when a sharp knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

How to prevent cracks in your pumpkin pie: The primary cause of cracking on the surface of a pumpkin pie is over-baking. To prevent cracking, inspect the pie after the first 55 minutes and give it a gentle shake, ensuring the filling is set (slightly soft on top but not excessively jiggly). Keep in mind that it will continue to cook after being removed from the oven! Additionally, do not rush the cooling process, as this could also lead to cracking. Allow it to cool completely, undisturbed, at room temperature.

To prepare Pumpkin Pie using Fresh Pumpkin, utilize sugar pie pumpkin to create my easy pumpkin puree recipe, and then incorporate the puree as directed in this pumpkin pie recipe.

Make Ahead, Storing, and Freezing Instructions:

To Make Ahead: You can prepare the entire pumpkin pie recipe from scratch the day prior and store it in the refrigerator, or you can prepare the pie crust and filling the day before and keep them separately in the refrigerator until you are ready to bake the following day.

To Store: Store-bought pumpkin pie can remain at room temperature due to the preservatives included, whereas homemade pumpkin pie must be refrigerated if it has not been consumed within 2 hours of being left out. Leftover pumpkin pie can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Ensure that the pumpkin pie is allowed to cool completely before covering it loosely with plastic wrap for storage.

To Freeze: A fully baked pumpkin pie can be frozen for a maximum of 3 months. After allowing it to cool completely, cover it with a layer of plastic wrap followed by a double layer of aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. Additionally, the pie crust can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw it overnight in the refrigerator prior to serving.

Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake Pie
Perfect Apple Pie
Chocolate Cream Pie
Banana Cream Pie
Triple Berry Pie

Notes

Pie pan: The filling is best suited for a 9x2 inch pie pan. If a smaller pan is used, not all of the filling will be necessary.

Make Ahead Instructions: The entire pie can be prepared the day before and stored in the refrigerator, or alternatively, the pie crust and filling can be made the day before and stored separately in the refrigerator until ready to bake the following day.

Storage Instructions: Store-bought pumpkin pies can remain at room temperature due to the preservatives added, but homemade pumpkin pie should be refrigerated if it has not been consumed within 2 hours of being left out. Leftover pumpkin pie can be kept in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Ensure that the pumpkin pie is allowed to cool completely before covering it loosely with plastic wrap for storage.

Freezing Instructions: Cooked pumpkin pie can be frozen for up to 3 months if well covered. The pie crust can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw the pumpkin pie overnight in the refrigerator before serving.

Caramel Pecan Topping:

½ cup light brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1 tablespoon butter
½ cup chopped pecans
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Combine brown sugar, cream, corn syrup, and butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.

CINNAMON-PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE PIE

Creamy, Spiced, and Perfect for Fall Gatherings

Why This Pie Stands Out

Creamy cheesecake layer adds richness and depth
Spiced pumpkin layer delivers classic autumn flavor
Flaky or cookie crust balances the creamy filling
No overly sweet pumpkin pie—perfectly balanced flavors

Ingredients

Crust

1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (or graham cracker crust)
Optional: 2 tablespoons sugar for a slightly sweetened crust

Pumpkin Cheesecake Filling

8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
¾ cup (150 g) sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup (120 ml) evaporated milk or half-and-half

Optional Topping

Whipped cream
Ground cinnamon or pumpkin spice sprinkle

Step-by-Step Instructions

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes—make it 1–2 days in advance and keep frozen until ready to serve.

Can I use pumpkin pie filling instead of puree?
