How To Make This Eggless Pumpkin Pie

Make the pie crust

To make this pie, you can start with a pre-made crust or make your own crust. I like to my pie crust in the food processor so it comes together easily.

Pro Tip: I recommend you bake your pie in a glass pie plate. This will ensure you can see that the bottom of your crust is fully baked (nothing worse than a soggy bottomed crust!).

Here is a recipe for a double crust pie dough. You can either cut the recipe in half or freeze half for later. Or use my single pie crust recipe.

Blind baking the homemade crust

For this type of pie, you want to blind bake it first, which means to partially bake the crust without any filling to it.

To blind bake your crust you need something to hold down your pie crust as it bakes. Pie weights like these are a great thing to have (but hey you can also use uncooked dry rice or beans too!).

To blind bake the pie crust, you want to line the pie crust once it’s in your pie plate with parchment paper then fill with your pie weights, or dried rice, or beans then partially bake.

Here a complete tutorial on how to blind bake your crust. And if you want to make the edges of your crust super pretty, here are 4 fun ways to decorate your pie crust. My favorite for this pie is to use these piecutters.

Make the custard filling

While your pie crust is par-baking, you can go ahead and make your pumpkin pie filling. You want to make sure you use 100% pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling in the can.

Then the rest of the filling ingredients get added to the bowl. Now you can buy pumpkin pie spice or make your own for this pie. It’s super easy to do and will save you a few bucks if you have the spices on hand. So yes, the filling can be made in one bowl and with a whisk!

How easy is that?

Ok well you got to bake it first. But then you’re done.

And I have to admit something. This pie? I ate a whole slice myself, no passing this time for me. What about the rest of pie, you ask? My family gladly accepted my a”pie”ology (sorry, I just had to) and gobbled it up.

Recipe Tips

• Use A Glass Plate. Make sure to use a glass pie plate so you can see if your crust is browned or not. If its not browning, then move the pie to the lower third of your oven.
• Blind Bake. Blind bake your pie crust so you don’t end up with a soggy pie bottom.
• Use pumpkin puree not filling. Pumpkin pie filling mix has added sugar and spices already in it.

• Make gluten free– Use a gluten-free pie crust to make this a gluten free pumpkin pie.
• Make vegan – You can make a vegan pie crust by using vegan butter, vegetable shortening, or chilled coconut oil. And then use vegan condensed milk, such as sweetened condensed coconut milk or sweetened condensed oat milk.
