Mom’s Pumpkin Pie:

Serving pumpkin pie sometime in the fall (especially Thanksgiving) is very traditional. And since most people love pumpkin pie, it’s usually very well received. I always make a classic pumpkin pie, but since I came across Mom’s pumpkin pie recipe recently, this is the one I’ll make from now on. Grab some pumpkin puree (canned or homemade) and bake this simple pumpkin pie for you and everyone around you!

✏️How to make Mom’s Pumpkin Pie:

*The complete, printable recipe with all ingredients and instructions is at the end of this post.

Preheat the oven to 350℉.
Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan. Flute the edges.
In a medium bowl, use a whisk to combine the pumpkin puree and the flour. Then whisk in the remaining ingredients.
Pour the filling into the pie crust, and bake for 35 minutes (or until the moisture on the top of the pie has disappeared).

★How to Store a Pumpkin Pie:

Let the pumpkin pie cool at room temperature for about 2 hours. Once the pumpkin pie is cool to the touch, loosely wrap it in plastic wrap. Place the pumpkin pie in the refrigerator and store it there for up to 4 days. Pumpkin pie can be frozen too. Let it cool completely (about 3 hours). Then wrap it several times in plastic wrap and slip it into a large zip baggie. Freeze up to one month.

➡️Recipe Tips:

Try using homemade pumpkin puree for Mom’s Pumpkin Pie!
In this recipe, you can use either whole milk or heavy cream for the filling. Whole milk is perfectly acceptable, but heavy cream will give it a richer flavor.
If you want to use pumpkin pie spice in place of the three spices mentioned, use 1/4 + 1/8 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice.
My all-time favorite homemade crust recipe is The Pioneer Woman’s Perfect Pie Crust recipe.

✔️How to serve Pumpkin Pie:

A slice of pumpkin pie is delicious served with a dollop of freshly whipped cream on top or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. You can also try drizzling on some jarred caramel and a few toasted pecans or chocolate shavings.

How to make freshly whipped cream:

Place your mixer bowl and whisk in the freezer for at least 20 minutes to chill. Pour 1 cup of heavy whipping cream, 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla into the cold bowl and whisk on high speed until medium to stiff peaks form, about 1 minute. Do not over beat. You can also do this with an electric mixer, but be careful not to over beat (it will whip up quickly!)
