Share with your friends!

 This simple pumpkin pie recipe is made with sweetened condensed milk, so you know it’s going to be good! It only takes a few ingredients and tastes amazing. 

      Pumpkin pie is a must have this time of year. It just wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without it. This recipe uses sweetened condensed milk to make it super easy and really smooth and creamy.  Bake one up for your holiday feast and see for yourself. 

      We are smack dab in the middle of pie season.  And I don’t know about you, but I am here for it.

      I don’t make the most beautiful pies, so I am always hesitant to post them. I have pretty pie crust envy!

       But I just had to share this recipe with you. It is a delicious pumpkin pie much like you would expect but you don’t have to have evaporated milk.

         Do you keep evaporated milk in your pantry? I almost never have it on hand.

          What do I always have? Sweetened condensed milk! 

         You never know when you’ll need it to make rich creamy buttercream or a quick batch of peanut butter fudge. So you are likely to find several cans in my cabinet at any time. 

         That rich creamy liquid gold that is sweetened condensed milk is perfect for making the pumpkin custard.  It not only adds the dairy part of the filling, but also adds all of the sweetness you need. 

       A few eggs, some spice and a can of pumpkin is all you need. You will have your tasty dessert in the oven in no time at all.

     The result is everything you would want it to be. It is smooth, rich and infused with pumpkin spice.

Tips and tricks

For the flakiest crust, get it fit into the pie plate and chill it for at least a half hour. Cold pastry equals flaky pastry.

Beat the eggs slightly before adding the other ingredients. This will help them to incorporate fully.

Watch your crust and cover it if needed. Do as I say and not as I did with this one.

When I went to make the pie for pictures, I  forgot to check it and the crust that was located in the hot part of the oven got too dark.

Don’t despair though. The pie was very much enjoyed, even if it wasn’t quite perfect. 

Toppings for your pie

Maple whipped cream is a great topping for pumpkin pie. I just love how the warm maple notes blend with the filling.

For a more stable topping, try cream cheese whipped cream. You can pipe it on your pie and it will hold its shape easily.

Maple pumpkin pie is kissed with a bit of maple flavor to heighten the warm sweet notes. Such a small change makes a big difference!

 This pie tastes just like apple pie, but there isn’t a single apple in it! You’d never guess that it’s really zucchini pie instead of apple.

Creamy apple butter pie is silky and delicious.  It has the texture of pumpkin pie, but with the flavor of apples and goodness of sweetened condensed milk instead!
