If you're in a hurry and want a gorgeous, perfectly baked dessert to serve at your holiday table, this pumpkin pie recipe with graham cracker crust is for you.
The filling is creamy and perfectly set, with just right amount of sweetness and spice.
To make this quick and easy pumpkin pie, you'll use a store-bought graham cracker crust and fill it with a one-step pumpkin pie filling that works every time.
For the crust, I used this 9 inch "ready crust" from Keebler, but there are a few brands out there and they should all work just as well.
If you're in the UK, the good news is you can pick these Keebler graham cracker crusts up on Amazon. I ordered several and they all arrived in one piece, which was pretty impressive.
Once baked, it gives a lovely crisp crust that cuts easily to give neat slices.
To make the filling, you'll measure pumpkin puree, pumpkin, evaporated milk, eggs, brown sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, pumpkin spice and a pinch of salt in a bowl, give them a gentle whisk and pour them right into the case. See? So simple!
You'll then bake until set. Your kitchen will smell incredible so, honestly, the toughest bit is having to let the pie cool and then chill in the refrigerator overnight before diving in.
If all this sounds good, read on. Below you'll find the full, detailed recipe with ingredients, recommended equipment, step-by-step instructions and a photo of every step so you can be sure of a great result.
Ingredients
For the case
- 1 9 inch (23cm) premade graham cracker crust
For the filling
- 1.5 tsp pumpkin spice or mixed spice
- 280 g (9.9 oz) pumpkin puree
- 2 large free range eggs
- 115 g (4.1 oz) evaporated milk
- 2 tsp cornflour (cornstarch)
- 150 g (5.3 oz) soft light brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180C (160C fan, 355F).
Put the pumpkin, evaporated milk, eggs, brown sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, pumpkin spice and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
Whisk to combine, but don't over-mix as you don't want to introduce too many air bubbles.
Remove the packaging from your pie dish.
Pour the mixture into the cooled base.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the centre is almost set - if you give it a light tap or shake it should wobble.
Leave to completely cool completely, then place in the fridge to chill overnight.
Enjoy!
