About this recipe

I only post recipes that I have tried and verified and are good to my taste — all taste may vary.

Pull custard pies while the center still wobbles; carryover heat finishes it and prevents cracks.

Ingredients

Method

  1. 01

    Heat oven to 400°F. Line crust with parchment and pie weights; bake 15 minutes, remove weights and bake 5 minutes more.

  2. 02

    Lower oven to 350°F. Whisk pumpkin, sugar, spices and salt, then eggs, milk and vanilla until smooth.

  3. 03

    Pour into the warm crust.

  4. 04

    Bake 40–45 minutes until the edges are set and the center still jiggles slightly (about 175°F).

  5. 05

    Cool completely, at least 3 hours, before slicing.
