Method
Prepare the Crust
- In a large bowl, combine flour and salt.
- Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Slowly add ice-cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
- Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- After chilling, roll the dough out on a floured surface to fit your pie dish. Trim the edges and crimp them for a decorative finish.
Prepare the Filling
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves until smooth.
- In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in a tablespoon of water, then add it to the pumpkin mixture. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Mix everything until the filling is well combined and smooth.
Bake the Pie
- Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crust.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the pie cool completely on a cooling rack before slicing. It will continue to set as it cools.
Notes
When baking this eggless pumpkin pie, be mindful that the pie may look a bit softer than a traditional pumpkin pie with eggs. This is normal, as the cornstarch helps to set the filling. Allow the pie to cool for at least an hour before slicing to achieve the perfect consistency.
