Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (9-inch)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the oven rack in the middle position.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk until completely smooth and uniform in color, about 30 seconds.
- Pour the filling into the pre-made graham cracker crust. Place the crust on a baking sheet first. Gently tap the pie pan on the counter to release air bubbles.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes. The pie is done when the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Optionally, after 45 minutes, turn off the oven and leave the pie inside with the door cracked for 10 minutes.
- Cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
- Slice with a sharp knife, wiping the blade clean between cuts. Serve plain or with whipped cream.
Notes
Don’t overmix the filling to avoid cracks. Watch the edges of the crust and cover with foil if browning too quickly. Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing. The pie tastes even better the next day.
