Ingredients
Scale
Pie Filling
- 1 can (15 oz) Libby’s Pumpkin Pie Mix
- 5 ounces evaporated milk
- 2 large eggs
Pie Crust
- 1 unbaked 9-inch deep dish pie shell
Topping
- Cool Whip or whipped topping, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for an even bake.
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin pie mix, evaporated milk, and eggs. Whisk together until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Prepare Pie Shell: Place the unbaked 9-inch deep dish pie shell on a baking sheet to catch any drips during baking.
- Pour Filling: Pour the pumpkin mixture evenly into the pie shell, spreading it gently to the edges.
- Bake at High Temperature: Bake the pie at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes to set the crust and filling edges.
- Reduce Oven Temperature: Lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking the pie for an additional 40 to 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Cool the Pie: Remove the pie from the oven and place it on a wire rack. Let it cool completely to room temperature, allowing the filling to fully set.
- Serve: Top each slice with a dollop of Cool Whip or whipped topping before serving for an extra creamy touch.
Notes
- Use a baking sheet under the pie crust to catch any spills and make cleanup easier.
- Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing to avoid a runny filling.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the pie crust with a gluten-free alternative.
- Make sure not to overbake; the filling should be set but slightly jiggly in the center.
- Chill the pie for at least 2 hours if preferred cold, which enhances the flavor and texture.
