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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Fill the Crust: Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

What To Serve With Pioneer Woman Pumpkin Pie

This classic pie pairs wonderfully with:

  • A dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra richness
  • A hot cup of coffee or spiced chai tea to complement the warm spices

How To Store Pioneer Woman Pumpkin Pie

Refrigerate: Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Use plastic wrap or an airtight container to maintain freshness.
