Notes
Ingredients & Substitutions
- Pumpkin Puree – While they do sell “pumpkin pie mix” in a can, if you want to make the best ever pumpkin pie, just grab a can of the pure pumpkin instead.
- Evaporated Milk – The evaporated milk is traditional, but you can also use cream or half-and-half if needed. Don’t confuse this for sweetened condensed milk, they are not the same!
- Sugar – White sugar is typically used, and it’s delicious! But you can also use a 1:1 sugar replacement if needed. I’ve even made it with maple syrup (only use half the given measurement) and it was great!
- Eggs – Whole eggs are needed to bind this recipe together. An egg replacement will not work the same way!
- Spices – I like to add more cloves than are already in the pumpkin pie spice because I like a really warm pumpkin pie. You can adjust this or leave it out if desired, but I would highly recommend leaving it in the recipe!
- Pie Crusts – Again, this recipe makes 2 deep-dish pies. You can use store-bought pie crusts or make your own homemade pie crust for an even more epic dessert!
- Whipped Topping – Though this is technically optional, I can’t imagine leaving it off! I like to joke with my husband that he likes a little pumpkin pie with his whipped cream.
