Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (15 ounces / 425 grams) can 100% pure pumpkin
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) low-fat milk
Sweeteners and Spices:
- ¼ cup (50 grams) sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 to 1.5 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (adjust to taste)
Other:
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating it to 350°F (175°C), ensuring the rack is positioned in the center for even baking.
- Whisk together all ingredients in a large bowl until the mixture transforms into a silky, uniform consistency, eliminating any potential lumps or streaks.
- Carefully transfer the velvety pumpkin blend into a 9″ x 9″ baking vessel, smoothing the surface with a spatula to create an even layer.
- Slide the pan into the preheated oven and allow the dessert to bake for approximately 40-45 minutes, keeping a watchful eye on its progress.
- To verify doneness, gently insert a clean knife or toothpick into the center of the pie; it should emerge completely clean with no wet batter clinging to it.
- When using smaller individual ramekins, reduce the cooking time to 25-35 minutes to prevent overcooking.
- For those preferring a traditional glass pie dish, lower the oven temperature to 325°F (162°C) and extend the baking duration to 50-55 minutes, watching carefully to achieve a perfect, tender texture.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the crustless pie to cool completely on a wire rack, which helps it set and develop a more defined structure.
Notes
- Whip up this crustless wonder for a lighter, gluten-free twist on traditional pumpkin pie that saves time and reduces calories.
- Customize your baking time and temperature based on your dish size, ensuring a perfectly set, silky-smooth pumpkin dessert every time.
- Pro tip: Let the pie cool completely before slicing to help it set and develop richer, more intense flavor profiles.
