Pumpkin Pie without Evaporated Milk

Thanksgiving would not be complete without a homemade pumpkin pie.  Of course we have all been in the moment where we have forgotten a key ingredient, canned evaporated milk.  Use whole milk instead for an easy fix for your favorite Thanksgiving dessert!  This recipe tastes just like a traditional pumpkin pie with a smooth creamy texture and amazing pumpkin flavor.

  • Add sugar mixture to the pumpkin and stir well to combine.
  • Pour pumpkin filling into pre baked pie crust. Cover crust with an aluminum foil shield.
  • Bake in preheated 425 degree oven for 15 minutes. Then without removing pie reduce temperature to 350 degrees.
  • Continue to bake for an additional 35-40 minutes. Pie will still be slightly jiggly in the center but will firm as it cools.
  • Allow to cool for at least 4 hours before slicing. Store in the refrigerator until ready to eat.

Notes

Prep time is calculated using a store bought crust.  If making one from scratch the time will take longer.
