What You’ll Need
- Sugar: I like to use granulated sugar for this recipe to add sweetness.
- Flour: I like to use all-purpose flour to thicken the batter.
- Evaporated Milk: This will add moisture to the recipe.
- Pumpkin Puree: This will add all the pumpkin flavor along with vanilla and cinnamon for additional flavor. Pumpkin pie spice can also be used.
How To Make Crustless Pumpkin Pie Recipe
- Prepare the batter. Add the sugar and flour into a mixing bowl. Put in the eggs and combine.
- Put in the wet ingredients. Pour the pumpkin, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon into the bowl and combine until fully incorporated.
- Bake the pie. Pour into a 9-inch pie dish greased with baking spray. Put on a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in pan with 1/2-inches of hot water. Put in the oven for 50-55 minutes at 350 degrees or until a knife comes out clean of batter.
- Slice your pie, top off with some sugar-free whipped cream.
Using A “Water Bath”
You’ll notice the recipe has you place your pie pan in a larger baking pan holding hot water. This is usually called a “water bath” and it’s used for a couple of reasons.
Most commonly, the water bath is used to keep the dessert moist. This helps to keep it from cracking and getting a rubbery texture. It also helps cook the dessert more evenly.
If you have ever baked a cheesecake or custard and found either of those problems, a water bath is the key to fixing it.
Variations
There are several variations you can explore when making crustless pumpkin pie to add some exciting twists to the classic recipe:
- Spiced Maple Crustless Pumpkin Pie: Enhance the flavor by adding a drizzle of maple syrup and a sprinkle of warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves to the pumpkin mixture. It brings a delightful sweetness and a hint of autumnal warmth.
- Chocolate Swirl Crustless Pumpkin Pie: Create a marbled effect by swirling in a layer of melted chocolate into the pumpkin filling before baking. The combination of chocolate and pumpkin is a decadent treat for chocolate lovers.
- Pecan Streusel Topping: Add a crunchy and nutty element to your crustless pumpkin pie by sprinkling a generous pecan streusel on top before baking. It provides a delightful contrast in texture to the smooth pumpkin filling.
- Caramel Drizzle: After baking, drizzle some caramel sauce on top of the cooled crustless pumpkin pie for an extra layer of sweetness and indulgence.
