Ingredients:
To make Libby's Famous Pumpkin Pie, you will need:
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until smooth.
3. Pour the mixture into the unbaked pie crust.
4. Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F, then reduce the heat to 350°F and bake for an additional 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the pie comes out clean.
5. Let the pie cool completely before serving.
Substitutions:
If you don't have pumpkin puree on hand, you can substitute it with an equal amount of mashed sweet potatoes or butternut squash. You can also make your own pumpkin puree by roasting a small pumpkin until it's soft, then scooping out the flesh and pureeing it in a blender or food processor.
If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own by combining 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves.
Tips for Perfect Pumpkin Pie:
1. Use a high-quality pie crust. You can make your own from scratch, or use a store-bought crust.
2. Don't overmix the filling. Whisk it until the ingredients are just combined, then pour it into the crust.
3. Bake the pie until the filling is set. It should jiggle slightly in the center, but not be liquidy.
4. Let the pie cool completely before slicing. This will help it set up properly and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Libby's Famous Pumpkin Pie with pumpkin pie spice is a delicious and easy dessert that's perfect for the holiday season.
