Ingredients for Crustless Pumpkin Spice Delight

Pumpkin puree is the star of the show, offering a naturally sweet and earthy base. We’re using evaporated milk to achieve a creamy consistency without adding extra fat. Granulated sugar sweetens the mix, while eggs help bind everything, giving that classic custard-like texture. A splash of vanilla extract enhances the flavor, while a blend of ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves provides the signature pumpkin spice warmth. A pinch of salt balances the sweetness and spices perfectly.

Tips & Tricks

For an extra smooth texture, use a hand mixer instead of a whisk.
Let the pie cool completely for easier slicing and serving.
If you prefer a spicier kick, feel free to adjust the spice levels to your taste.

Serving Suggestions

This Crustless Pumpkin Spice Delight pairs wonderfully with a dollop of freshly whipped cream. For a creative twist, sprinkle some crushed pecans or drizzle a bit of caramel sauce on top. It’s a delightful way to end a meal or enjoy a cozy afternoon treat.

Crustless Pumpkin Spice Delight Recipe Walkthrough

First things first, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). This gives your oven plenty of time to reach the right temperature while you prepare the mixture.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk these together until the mixture is smooth. You’re looking for a nice, even consistency without any lumps.

Next, add in the spices: cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Stir until these spices are thoroughly mixed in. This step is where the magic happens, as these spices transform the mixture into a fragrant, autumnal delight.

Now, pour the spiced pumpkin mixture into a greased 9-inch pie dish. Use a spatula to smooth the top, ensuring it’s evenly distributed for even baking.

Place the dish in the preheated oven and let it bake for 50 to 55 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Once baked, allow the pie to cool at room temperature. This step is crucial as it helps the flavors meld together beautifully.
