How to make Crustless Pumpkin Pie:
- Step 1. Preheat the oven and prepare the pan. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 9 inch pie pan with a non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2 – In a small bowl combine sugars, salt, pumpkin pie spice. Stir everything together until it is well combined.
Step 3 – In a separate large mixing bowl, beat eggs then whisk together the pumpkin puree followed by the dry ingredients.
Step 4 – Slowly stir in the evaporated milk and mix to combine. Thoroughly stir together but do not overmix.
Step 5 – Pour the mixture into the prepared pie plate. Gently knock the pie pan on the countertop carefully to remove any air bubbles from the mixture.
Step 6 – Bake for 60-70 minutes, rotating the pie pan halfway through the baking time.
Step 7 – Remove the pie from the oven when the edges of the pie are set but the middle of the pie will still appear a bit jiggle.
- Step 8. Allow to cool. Let the pie rest at room temperature until it has cooled completely. The pie should not be warm when placed in the fridge.
- Step 9. Refrigerate the pie. Then refrigerate the pie, covered, for at least 6 hours or overnight. It needs enough time to set in order for it to cut neatly or it will fall apart.
- Step 10. Slice and serve the pie. Once the pie is chilled, the pie is ready to slice, serve and enjoy topped with whipped cream.
Serving Suggestions
- Vanilla Ice Cream. Serve each slice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Whipped Cream. Dollop each slice with a generous portion of whipped cream.
- Cinnamon. If you love cinnamon, sprinkle a little bit on top of each slice.
- Pumpkin Pie Spice. Add even more pumpkin flavor with a dash of pumpkin pie spice.
Pro Tips
- Refrigerate before serving. The pie needs to be refrigerated for at least 6 hours before slicing.
- Don’t reheat the pie. It is best served cold or at room temperature. The texture will change if reheated.
Frequently Asked Questions
Refrigerate the leftovers, covered, for up to 3-4 days. I like to wrap the pie in one layer of plastic wrap and then aluminum foil. Then place in the fridge.
Serve the pie chilled or at room temperature. I do not suggest reheating it.
Freeze the pie for later use if desired. Allow to cool and wrap the pie entirely in plastic wrap.

in advance?
Make this pie ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to serve. You can make it 1 to 2 days in advance to save time.
This is perfect for Thanksgiving or events you need extra time for other things. It will still taste wonderful.
I do not recommend using pumpkin pie filling. The spices are already added to the canned pumpkin pie filling.
This recipe calls for pumpkin puree that is just plain pumpkin. They are two completely different ingredients and should not be substituted for the other one.
Substitute coconut milk for the evaporated milk in the pie recipe. However, do not use light coconut milk. You do not want to eliminate the higher fat content that makes this pie so rich and creamy.
This is an easy way to make this pie dairy-free. You can even make two variations of pies if you need to accommodate several different needs.
You can make pumpkin pie spice easily at home. If you do a lot of Fall baking, I suggest you try this. It is not difficult at all.
