🧾 Ingredients Notes

Eggless pumpkin pie ingredients in bowls and spoons with labels.
  • Pie Crust: You can choose between a homemade pie crust or a store-bought one, depending on your preference and time availability. Try my fool-proof, quick food processor pie crust recipe.
  • Pumpkin Puree: Opt for 100% pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. Canned pumpkin puree is convenient and consistent, although you can use homemade puree. I prefer using canned pumpkin puree as homemade puree can have more moisture, resulting in a thinner filling consistency.
  • Cornstarch: Cornstarch is a crucial binding agent in this eggless pumpkin pie recipe. It helps thicken the filling and ensures a perfect texture. If you don’t have cornstarch, alternatives like tapioca, arrowroot powder, or potato starch will work.
  • Spices and salt: The spices are the heart of this pumpkin pie’s flavor profile. You can use a pre-made pumpkin pie spice mix or a combination of individual spices like Cinnamon for warmth, Ground Ginger for spicy kick, Ground Cloves for earthiness, and Freshly Grated Nutmeg for complexity to the filling. Salt enhances the overall flavor of the pie, balancing the sweetness.
  • Condensed Milk: Condensed milk is a versatile ingredient that acts as an egg replacer in this recipe and contributes to the pie’s richness and sweetness. It blends with the pumpkin puree to create a luscious filling.
  • Heavy Whipping Cream and Sugar: Both are used to make whipped cream that is used as a topping. Use heavy whipping cream with more than 35% fat content. Cream with a higher fat content whips up to a light, fluffy texture. Sugar adds sweetness to the whipped cream.

💭 Tips For Making Pumpkin Pie Without Eggs

  • Blind baking the pie crust, as mentioned in the recipe, is essential to prevent a soggy bottom crust. This step ensures that the crust remains crisp and flaky.
  • Be cautious not to over-bake the pie. Overbaking can lead to cracks on the surface and result in a dry, crumbly texture. The pie is ready when set around the edges but still slightly wobbly in the center, similar to Jell-O.
  • Under-baking can result in an unset center, making it challenging to achieve clean, neat slices when serving. Ensure that the center is properly set during baking.
  • For the best flavor, always use good-quality and fresh spices. Stale or expired spices can make the pie taste flat and less flavorful. Grate nutmeg fresh using a microplane zester for optimal aroma and flavor.
  • Allow the baked pie to cool completely at room temperature before serving or refrigerating. This cooling process helps the filling set properly, resulting in a smoother texture when slicing.
  • Be cautious not to over-whip the heavy cream when making whipped cream. Over-whipping can cause the cream to separate, turning it into butter. Stop whipping as soon as stiff peaks form.

🥣 Storage Instructions

  • To refrigerate, cover the pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil or transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days.
  • To freeze, wrap the individual pie slices tightly with plastic wrap or use a freezer-safe airtight container. It can be frozen for up to 2-3 months.
