Easy Pumpkin Pie Recipe

Full of delicious pumpkin flavor, this homemade Pumpkin Pie recipe is the ultimate Thanksgiving dessert. This recipe is a classic for a reason: a no-fuss dessert with a rich and smooth filling in a tender, flaky crust. It's also perfect for making ahead! There are a lot of thanksgiving recipes that I get questions about but homemade pumpkin pie from scratch is at the top of the list so I made a new video with all my tips and tricks as well as a test of two different paking methods! And yes I included baking instructions for a from scratch, and premade pie crust. Hope you enjoy!!

I'm watching this video eating a piece of pumpkin CAKE I made yesterday out of pumpkin puree that I made from pumpkins I grew. You are exactly right in cautioning that homemade pumpkin puree has consistency issues. However I believe I have the cure for that. I got advice from a canning group. After you scrape the cooked flesh from the pumpkin shell, put it in a colander set over a bowl for several hours and let the excess water drain off. Then puree with an immersion blender. The consistency is much closer to the canned product.

[@adedow1333]

Oh that's a good idea! I put mine one blender and had to add a ton of water just to get it all smooth and then it was only good for soup. I like pumpkin soup, but my husband does not.

[@CJBray_historyonaplate]

So true, it works! Also have you ever tried Blue Hubbard Squash instead of pumpkin puree? OH MY! I grew some this year and made the most silky pie ever.. You gotta try!

[@RoxasLov3r4Ev3r]

Bless you!! May your pumpkins and other crops be bountiful and always delicious!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@dorishodge4451]

@Cathy's Table ~ Heritage Hallow, I have never heard of that squash. Are the seeds very difficult to find?

[@yagirlsheila7705]

For anyone who is in a rush and has fresh pumpkin puree, you can add more cornstarch to make it less liquidy, add a tablespoon at a time.

160g brown sugar 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp ginger 1/8 tsp cloves 1/4 tsp nutmeg 15 oz pumpkin 1/4 tsp allspice/cardamom 3 room temp eggs 12 oz evaporated milk 15 min @ 400F 40 min @ 350F

I tried baking a pumpkin pie two times before I stumbled upon John's recipe. They were both a disaster. I needed the pie for our family's Thanksgiving dinner. I was so scared they would hate it since I wasn't able to try it before hand but it was an absolute hit. People kept going for seconds and it was gone in a matter of minutes. Thanks, John!

JESUS LOVES YOU❤

[@cristywyndham-shaw5111]

I made this pie with just the filling, no pie shell, in custard cups. It was phenomenal!!! My family loved it. No-one here fancies a lot of spice, just a pinch of fresh nutmeg and lots of cinnamon, and no-one likes pastry crust. I've made it in a regular glass pie plate, too, and it comes out perfect. Pumpkin custard! Can't thank you enough for this creamy, delicious recipe. 🎃

[@lbar9720]

Great idea; thank you for sharing your ideas.

[@fabiennemitchell2371]

Use a cake flan case, used for fruit trifles or a biscuit crust, used for cheesecake, as an alternative.

[@StephanieTX]

I am definitely going to use this recipe and your crust recipe for a pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving. I love your sense of humor also!

[@jillapalooza]

I started warming my pie filling last year after watching one of your videos. It makes a huge difference.

[@seasons0123]

Does it change the texture, or is it to prevent cracking? I watched another chef and he said it is the secret that restaurants use?

[@tevesala8415]

Excuse me, may I ask a question? Was your pie crust fresh off the oven when you poured the warm filling in?

[@bayleethielemier3565]

I just made your pumpkin pie last night!!! I don’t even like pumpkin pie but I LOVED this one😍 and so did my boyfriend and all his friends! They all went back for seconds!

[@bmeclipse]

Every year, you save my holidays. Thank you!

[@karensullivan3]

My life just changed when I saw you roll the pastry mat over the roller and into the pie tin. Thanks John, I’m going to give it a go!

I made this, doubled the recipe, and made two pies. Both pies look delicious! Can't wait to try on Thanksgiving.

[@jymcotton9904]

Amazing. My 4 daughters and I will try to do this tomorrow here in China! We don't have Pumpkin puree here in Asia, will have to make it ourselves, but we are up to the Challenge. We did your Mud pie last year and it came out phenomenal! We'll let you know how it turns out. We love you! Hope to order your book sometime, Amazon does ship to China. Thank you for your beautiful work!

[@tomdececco2806]

Made your original recipe and I have to say it was the best pie I’ve ever tasted - thanks for another great recipe

[@AJ-ss5te]

When he said cream instead of evap milk, does he mean heavy whipping cream?

I am DEFINITELY warming my filling from now on. The reduction in bake time will be worth it since my crusts tend to burn. Everything changes at high altitude. Thanks for that tip!!

[@Priscillian]

I have just made this pie for Halloween! Thank you! Delicious!

[@dcjimr1]

You are so correct about the pumpkin brand. I just followed your recipe using an organic brand (not Libby's) and it was a bit watery. I still have problems rolling out dough, but will keep practicing! One important thing I learned from you is to use a baking mat...SO much easier. 😁 Thanks, John.

[@VintageNailArt]

I use your pie crust all the time! If anything it’s easy to make 2-3 recipes and wrap them separately and freeze. Thaw the day before by moving it to the fridge and it’s way better than pre-made even though it feels as easy as store bought. Also: if you are using home-roasted pumpkin you can add Annato seed to get that bright orange color.

[@akaony]

Thanks for the tips, it came out really well. Pre-cooking the filling helped heaps when using some boiled pumpkin I had frozen for this specific use

[@jrozi3872]

Your baking videos are soooo helpful, everything always turns out great the first time I'm always surprised and yet again, first pumpkin pie and pie crust Ive ever made- turned out great! Its as if I already know how to bake haha

If you live somewhere that you can't get pumpkin, look in the produce section for a butternut squash. Roast that and use it in place of the pumpkin. Here in America, the canned "pumpkin" is mostly butternut.

[@alisongrubb8159]

I made this last Thanksgiving & I should have made 2! I do recommend heating the filling & using heavy cream. My family is very particular about pumpkin pie & we all agreed without a doubt. . . this is truly the very best pumpkin pie 🥧! 🥰

[@tevesala8415]

Excuse me, may I ask a question? Was your pie crust fresh off the oven when you poured the warm filling in? Or does the crust have to be room temp before pouring the warm filling in?
