Pioneer Woman Pumpkin Pie with Condensed Milk Recipe Ingredients
- 1 (9-inch) store-bought pie crust
- 15 oz. canned pumpkin puree
- 14 oz. canned sweetened condensed milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp. ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 cup whipped cream, for serving (optional)
How To Make Pioneer Woman Pumpkin Pie with Condensed Milk
- Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C/gas 7). Place the store-bought pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp or trim the edges as desired and set aside.
- Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until smooth and well blended.
- Fill the Crust: Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake the Pie: Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C/gas 4) and continue baking for 35–40 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour to set properly. Slice and serve with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.

Recipe Tips
- Why reduce the oven temperature? Starting at a higher temperature sets the crust, while lowering it ensures the filling cooks evenly without cracking.
- How do I prevent the crust from browning too quickly? Cover the edges with a pie shield or aluminum foil if they start to brown excessively during baking.
- Can I make this ahead? Bake the pie up to 2 days ahead, cool completely, and refrigerate. Serve cold or at room temperature.
- How do I ensure a flaky crust? Keep the crust cold before baking and consider lightly pre-baking at 350°F for 5 minutes for extra crispness, as suggested in the notes.
