The Best Pumpkin Pie Recipe

There’s no store-bought pie that even comes close to this homemade pumpkin pie. It’s worth the effort to make one from scratch (especially for Thanksgiving) and this one is epic. We’ve even turned this recipe into Mini Pumpkin Pies. Here’s why everyone raves about this pie:

  • The Best Pie Crust – we use our go-to pie crust to make a tender and flaky crust. Pre-baking will make all the difference in the final taste and texture of the crust. Follow the tips below for success.
  • The Filling – there is tons of great pumpkin flavor because of the ingredients we recommend that really highlight the pumpkin flavor.
  • The topping – we added rum into the whipped cream that will keep everyone guessing and makes the flavor exciting.

Pumpkin Pie Video Tutorial

Pumpkin Pie is a staple on the holiday table and we honestly love it all Autumn and winter long. It’s so comforting. Make sure you try the whipped cream – it’s so simple to make and infuses every bite with tons of flavor.

Ingredients for Pumpkin Pie

After testing dozens of pumpkin pie recipes, this one has the perfect texture and flavor. The key to getting the right custard-like consistency is in the extra egg yolks. Keep those whites for your next egg white omelet.

  • Pie Crust – use 1 pie disk or half of our pie crust recipe
  • Egg white – to brush and seal the inside of the crust
  • Pumpkin puree – this can make or break your pie. See our recommendation below.
  • 3 Egg yolks, plus 1 whole egg – the extra yolks give this a creamy custard consistency.
  • Sugar – the combination of light brown and granulated sugar adds just the right amount of sweetness 
  • Simple spices – salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon are all you need. These make the pumpkin flavors really shine.
  • Vanilla extract – adds great flavor
  • Evaporated milk – gives the pie a creamy, silky consistency.

The Best Pumpkin Puree

We highly recommend Libby’s brand 100% pure pumpkin puree. There is a good reason everyone recommends using Libby’s and after several tests using different brands and even organic purees, Libby’s wins for:

  • Best Texture – it’s super thick and concentrated
  • Rich Color – the deep orange hue will give you the best-colored pie once it’s baked.
  • Pumpkin Flavor – because it’s very concentrated and well-drained, the pumpkin flavor really comes through in your pie.
  • Versatile – we also use it for pumpkin recipes like Pumpkin Cake, Pumpkin Cupcakes and Pumpkin Pancakes.

Tools You Will Need

You don’t need any fancy equipment to make a homemade pie. These are our favorite tools for making pie.

Should I pre-bake the crust?

Pre-baking or ‘blind baking’ the pie crust is important for pumpkin pie because it ensures that it stays crisp and doesn’t get soggy as the filling bakes. The process is well worth it and you will love the crust just as much as you love the filling. Get all of our best tips for blind-baking a crust in our Pie Crust Recipe.

step by step pre-baking a pie crust with pie weights

Can I re-use the pie weights? If you are using beans or rice, you can let them cool to room temperature and re-use them. Traditional ceramic pie weights are an investment initially but can last for years and be re-used countless times. 

How to Make Pumpkin Pie

Making a pumpkin pie is easier and takes less time than you think! The best part is, you can pre-bake the crust a day or two ahead and even completely bake and refrigerate the pie two days ahead.

  1. Prepare the crust – roll chilled pie dough to a 12″ circle, transfer to a pie pan, crimp the edges and freeze 30 minutes.
  2. Blind-bake crust – line the frozen pie crust with a circle of crinkled parchment paper and fill 3/4 full with pie weights. Bake at 425˚F for 17 minutes, remove pie weights, prick all over with a fork, brush with egg white and bake another 5 minutes.
  3. Make the Filling – Whisk together all filling ingredients then add evaporated milk and whisk until smooth. Bake at 350˚F for 60 minutes then cool pie to room temperature.
  4. Whipped Cream – beat 1 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form then add sugar, rum, and vanilla and beat until medium/stiff peaks form. Pipe over cooled slices of pie.

Common Questions:

Can I use a store-bought crust?

If the only thing stopping you from making a pumpkin pie is the crust, then by all means use a store-bought deep-dish pie crust.

Do I need to Pre-Bake the Crust?

We have tested with and without pre-baking and the crust was significantly better (flakier and crisper) when pre-baked. If you decide not to pre-bake then you’ll want to bake at 425˚F for 15 minutes then reduce to 350˚F and bake another 45-50 minutes.

What is the best pie pan for pumpkin pie?

We prefer to make pies that require a pre-bake in a glass pan because you can see the progress of the crust as it bakes, but a ceramic pie dish will also work.

Can I Freeze Pumpkin Pie?

Once the pie is at room temperature, you can wrap in several layers of plastic wrap and freeze up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator for 12 hours before serving.

How to prevent cracks in Pumpkin Pie

  • Avoid whisking the filling vigorously. Continue whisking after the evaporated milk is added until the bubbles are broken down.
  • Do not overbake – An overbaked center is more likely to get dry and crack. Also baking at a lower temperature (350˚F) prevents the cake from rising too quickly, then sinking and cracking.
  • Avoid the knife test for doneness – this will cause a big crack where you inserted the knife. Instead, test for doneness by giving the pan a little jolt. It should be set at the edges with a slight wobble in the center.

Pro Serving Tip: just like with Cheesecake, use a damp paper towel to wipe the knife between cuts for clean slices.

Homemade Pumpkin Pie is one of the most iconic Thanksgiving Desserts. See our secrets for a crisp crust and the best pumpkin pie filling!
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour
Chilling Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 2 hours

Ingredients 

Servings: 10 people

For the Pumpkin Pie:

Whipped Cream

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 Tbsp golden rum

Instructions

Prepare the Pie Crust:

  • Roll 1 chilled pie disk to a 12” diameter circle. Transfer to a 9” glass pie pan.
  • Fold the excess dough behind the crust under at the edge to build up the edge for crimping then crimp the edge. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 30 minutes or refrigerate 1 hour, which will help the crust bake more evenly without sliding down.

Blind Baking the Crust:

  • Preheat oven to 425˚F. Line the center of your chilled pie crust with a 9-10″ ring of crinkled up parchment paper and fill about 3/4 full with dry beans or pie weights. Bake 17 minutes or until edges are starting to turn golden.
  • Remove pie weights, prick the bottom of the crust all over with a fork, brush the inside of the pie crust with egg white and place back in the oven without weights for 5 minutes or until the center looks dry. The egg white creates a barrier so the filling doesn’t soak into the crust. Cool completely to room temp before adding the filling.

Make Pumpkin Pie Filling and Bake:

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, egg and yolks, brown and granulated sugar, vanilla extract, salt, pumpkin spice, and cinnamon until well combined.
  • Add evaporated milk and whisk until blended and all of the bubbles are gone from the batter. Tap bowl against the counter a few times to knock out any extra bubbles. Pour into pre-baked and cooled crust.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 350˚F and bake 55-60 minutes until the pie is nearly set. It should be completely set at the edges with just a slightly loose center. It should be barely wobbly like a cheesecake.
  • Cool completely on a wire rack until room temp (3 hours) then serve or refrigerate if not serving the same day.

Make the Rum Whipped Cream:

  • In a mixing bowl with the whisk attachment, beat on medium speed with the whisk attachment or egg beaters for 1 minute until soft peaks form.
  • Add 3 Tbsp sugar, 1/2 Tbsp rum, and 1/2vanilla and beat on medium-high speed until medium peaks form.

    Love this pie recipe! Made it many times. One thing I do think is confusing about the directions, is when blind baking the crust. It says to brush crust with egg white and bake for 5 minutes. Then it says “ While it’s still hot, brush the inside with egg white…and then cool.” This makes it sound like you should be brushing with egg white and baking and then brushing with egg white a second time and cooling. I had to go watch the recipe video to see what to do.

      The USDA says that pumpkin pie will last safely in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Keep it covered well or in an air tight container for freshness and so it does not go stale. This pie still tastes great even after a few days of making it.

    I always dress up my pumpkin pie after it is baked and cooled or still hot 🤷‍♀️
    Make a crumble of chopped pecans, butter, cinnamon, brown sugar & coconut. You decide on the amounts. Sprinkle generously over top of pie and pop in the oven at 350F for 20 min or so till butter melted and sizzling bit. Serve pie as usual with whipped cream. You will never serve pumpkin pie any other way…. I promise 😘

    Why did my dough shrink I did everything u said , I didn’t over work it, I let it rest , then I froze it for 1 hour and I cooked it at 425 with weights on it took them off prick it wth fork put back in oven for 5 mins and it still shrunk

      Hi Brenda, I would recommend making sure you didn’t use too much flour. Be sure to measure by fluffing the flour first with a spoon then spoon it into a dry ingredient measuring cup and scrape off the top. If you push your measuring cup into a flour bin, you will get up to 25% too much flour. Also, do not tap the flour down in the measuring cup.

    I gave it 5 stars out of optimism and past success with your recipes! But I have a question, hopefully someone can answer soon. I felt like I couldn’t get my crust to roll out big enough, (I blame my rolling pin), so I added more crust from the 2nd crust. May have used about 1.5 crust for a 9.5″ pan. My crust seemed thicker than yours once it was too late to roll it out any more. So I did the second bake for 7 min instead of 5 because it still looked very pale. Right now it looks gorgeous but I’m afraid baking the pumpkin pie in it for so long will cause it to be over-done/burned. And another recipe (I should no better by now to go to another source, I’m sorry) mentioned “par-baking” when needing to bake the pie filling. I’m wondering if I should just stick with what I got or start over. Making pie for Christmas, but want to bake it Christmas Eve. Never made pumpkin pie before but I’ve used the crust a couple times. Just never pre-baked before.

      Hi there, yes you can. Once the pie is at room temperature, you can wrap in several layers of plastic wrap and freeze up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator for 12 hours before serving.

    Question #1: Can the rum whipped topping be made a day ahead of time, whipping it less and keeping refrigerated?

    Question #2: This pie crust is delicious, but was very hard to roll out. I made ahead of time, froze it, then let is thaw at room temp before using. Still, it was pretty hard–needed to press down hard to roll out my dough. Suggestions?

    • Natasha
      November 24, 2021

      HI Elayna, I’ll be making that whipped cream this year also and it’s really safer to whip it the same day it’s made or it can soften and turn a little watery. The biggest reason for the difficulty in rolling the dough is if the crust is still too cold. Also, overmixing after adding the water to the crust can also cause the dough to be more dense and difficult to roll out. I hope that helps.

    Tank you Natasha for the fantastic recipes. I have a question. I saw two recipes of the dough pie that you has on the web, one you brush with white eggs and the other without white eggs, which is the difference because the ingredients are the same.

      Hi Marimar, since I pre-bake the crust for this, that is the reason I brush with egg white – it creates a seal to prevent a soggy crust.

        Hi Natasha!
        I’ve been pretty loyal to the recipe on the back of the Libby’s can for years, only straying once and being very disappointed with that result. I’ve always used a famous Food Network star’s pie crust recipe and I’ve always been happy with it. But this year, I saw your recipe and thought, why not? I was very nervous to try something new, but my 15 year old daughter said, “Mom, it’s Natasha’s recipe. You can trust it.” Well, she was right. I will never go back to my old recipe. When I took the first bite of the pie, I was floored. It was delicious from the crust to the filling! Thank you so much for sharing!

      Hi Liana, it’s hard to say what caused that. I had that happen when I used organic pumpkin puree since Libby’s was thicker, but never ran into that issue with using Libbys. I suspect maybe one of the liquid ingredients was changed? Did you use large eggs i.e. 1 large egg and 3 large egg yolks (and not extra large eggs) and only 12 oz of evaporated milk? You can try adding it for a bit longer, but if it looks done I imagine it will still work out well.

    Fantastic!!! Thx for the step by step video. I finally figured out why I didn’t like pumpkin pie all these years!! Too many eggs !! So it tasted eggy to me! So I used your recipe and modified it a smidge 😉 and added only 2 eggs yokes and 1 whole egg, I added a tablespoon of rum which cuts the eggy smell/ taste and upped the spices just a smidge.(. didn’t have pumpkin pie spice so I made my own) . The pie of itself ended up with a more fluffy texture rather than custardy. In making the whipped creme I added about 2 tsp of vanilla , the rum and a 1/2 teasooon of banana extract. And that homemade pie crust… 😱😱dear God it is EVERYTHING!!! My first time making it !!! Im in Love and it will be my go too!!! Thanks so much for sharing your creations!!! 😋😋🤤💕

    Hi Natasha,
    I never made a pumpkin pie before let alone eat one (was raised up on sweet potato pie). I decided to make your recipe as a gift for my pastor. I bought Pillsbury crust. Since I had extra filling and 1 extra crust, the second pie was a little over half full. I tried a piece. I was so impressed that I decided to make a couple for Christmas. I really enjoyed your homemade whipped cream. I may never use Cool Whip again. When I asked my pastor about it, he said his sister didn’t give it to him. She told me it’s in the freezer because they didn’t get together for Thanksgiving. I thought that was odd until I realized he may have fasted.
    During his last sermon, he mentioned praying and fasting for our nation and how he would miss eating pumpkin pie.

        2. I made half a recipe of natasha’s amazing pie crust
        3. roll out the crust, and use a cupcake pan. (I used a cookie cutter to get the circle shape) i didn’t do the blind bake the crust, i just added the filling right away.
        4. bake for about 30-40 minutes (the baking and cooling time gets cut in half) and then let them cool and enjoy! Thank you Natasha for the amazing pie, my family loved it!

    I always use your pie crust recipe but I wait the hour to chill and I immediately bake and never have issues. This time, I chose to make ahead. Tuesday, I made the crust, wrapped them up tight and then put them in ziplocks and put them in the crisper. Wednesday, I pulled the dough out, waited for them to relax and then began rolling them out but it was cracking left and right. I tried everything, rolled it all up again, added a little water, still cracked. I used it anyway, managed what I could and baked the pies. They don’t look beautiful but they taste damn delicious as usual. Lolol tell me lady what did I do wrong?

      I’m so glad you love our recipes and are using 5 of them for Thanksgiving. That is amazing! With the pie dough, it is likely due to not adding enough water or adding too much flour. If it ends up too dry, it can be difficult to roll and more likely to crack. You might check out our post on how we measure flour (spoon it into the measuring cup and level off the top). If you push the measuring cup into the flour container, you can compact it and get 25% more flour than you need.

      I haven’t tried blind baking with rice to advise.

    I would do this recipe but I use fresh pumpkin instead of canned. It makes a big difference in the taste of the pie.

    This may be a silly question but do I still pre-bake a store bought pie crust? Thanks!

      Hi Lisa, if it is a deep dish crust then yes I would still pre-bake with weights. If it is a thinner crust, you can follow the instructions without pre-baking in the “Common Questions” section under the title: “Do I need to Pre-Bake the Crust?”

    How can I get the whipped cream to last on top earlier

      Hi Pamela, to be safe, I would suggest piping that on before serving.

    Hi Natasha…I’m wanting to make this pie for friends and family but I am going to use 8″pie tins for take and go… do you think the crust will work well still?…

      Hi Cheryl, and 8″ pie could still work. It will be slightly smaller; watch closely as it’s baking not to overdo it.

    Natasha,

    Thank you for all your work in researching all the tips and tricks on making a homemade crust! I feel like these small things help me cook like a pro 🙂 I never knew prebaking the crust worked or the egg white trick. Thank you for that! And truly, once you bake a homemade pie, store bought ones just don’t compare.

    After baking the pumpkin pie and it cools off the pumpkin mix comes away from the crust. What am I doing wrong?

      November 16, 2020

      Hi Faith, it could be due to over-baking or the type of pan used. You might try baking for 5 minutes less or check for doneness sooner. I hope that helps!

      Hello Sylwia, you can pre-bake the crust a day or two ahead and even completely bake and refrigerate the pie two days ahead.

    I would recommend using Half and Half instead of Evaporated Milk, or if you are in the Eastern US, try Table Cream. It makes a much tastier pumpkin pie, as it does not have that tinny taste and smell.

    Wonderful recipe. One thing I’d suggest is adding 3 tablespoons of molasses per pie. It changes the flavor in an amazing way. People who don’t think they like pumpkin pie might change their minds!
