Instructions
- Heat the oven to 425°F.
- In a large bowl, whisk the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, eggs, evaporated milk, vanilla, and salt until completely smooth.
- Pour into the crust and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven to 350°F and bake until the edge is set and the center jiggles slightly, 40 to 50 minutes more (the center should read about 175°F).
- Cool on a rack for 2 hours, then refrigerate until cold.
Tips
- Vanilla swap: use vanilla bean paste 1:1 in place of the extract for visible specks, or the seeds of 1 vanilla bean for each tablespoon of extract.
- Best vanilla for this: Madagascar (rich, creamy, classic), or Mexican (spiced, warm, woodsy). Any pure vanilla works.
- Storage: Refrigerate for up to 4 days.
