- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, and one egg until well combined. Gradually whisk in the evaporated milk until the mixture is smooth.
