- 1 9-inch store-bought pie crust
- 1½ cups canned pumpkin puree
- 1 cup of evaporated milk
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 3 large eggs, divided
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (or 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon nutmeg)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- Preheat the oven to 425 F.
- Mix the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, brown sugar, 2 eggs, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Fill the pie shell with the filling.
- Brush the edges of the pie with an egg wash consisting of 1 egg with 2 tablespoons of water. Cover the edges with tinfoil.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350 F, and bake the pumpkin pie for another 30 to 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out mostly clean. Remove the tin foil in the last 15 minutes of baking.
- To make the whipped cream, use a hand-held or stand mixer to whisk 1 cup of whipping cream. Once soft peaks start to form, add the white sugar. Serve the cooled pumpkin pie with whipped cream.
