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.

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.
