My granddaughter, Casey, always requests this particular pie for her birthday. It's so easy and so good. ***Most of the time I have frozen pumpkin I put up, which I use in this pie whenever I have it. It takes about 1 1/2 cups of the frozen pumpkin but be sure to thaw and drain it well.

How To Make pumpkin pie for casey

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 425. Dab a little egg white or milk in bottom of curst to prevent it from being soggy.
  • 2
    Mix all ingredients (except for pie shell) together & pour into pie shell. Place onto a cookie sheet in case of a spill-over. Sometimes I use a 9" pie shell and pour the rest in two oven-proof bowls for Casey since she doesn't eat the crust.
  • 3
    Bake on 425 for 15 minutes then cover edges of crust with aluminum foil (or ring if you have one).
  • 4
    Lower temperature to 350 & bake for an additional 40-45 minutes or when knife inserted in center of pie comes out clean.

    ***If using frozen pumpkin be sure to thaw and drain it well. I use about 1 1/2 cups once drained. ****You can also use heavy cream or half and half. I'm sure I have even used regular milk before.

    When using canned pumpkin I prefer this brand from Aldi over the Libby's brand. This is awesome pumpkin. It's so rich and pretty like pumpkin suppose to be.
