How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s dive into the steps to create this delightful pie:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F. Place your pie shell on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, cinnamon, salt, ginger, and cloves.
3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs until fluffy. Stir in the pumpkin and the spice mixture until well combined.
4. Gradually stir in the evaporated milk until everything is fully combined.
5. Pour the filling into the pie shell, spreading it evenly.
6. Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the temperature to 350°F and bake for an additional 40–50 minutes.
7. Check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
8. Cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving. This allows the pie to set perfectly!

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your Libby’s Pumpkin Pie turns out perfect every time:
