You don’t need much time or many ingredients to make a delicious pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving 2018. In just a few easy steps, you can create a perfect pie at home using canned pumpkin.

The following easy dessert recipe is a combination of our own findings and guides from VeryBestBaking, All Recipes, and Pillsbury.

In order to make pumpkin pie from a can, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 1 can of all-natural, pure, cooked pumpkin (15 ounces)
• 1 can of evaporated milk OR half-and-half- (12-14 ounces)
• 1 pie shell (9-inch, unbaked)
• 2 large eggs
• ¾ cup of sugar
• ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg
• ½ teaspoon of ginger
• ½ teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
• Canned whipped cream (optional)

Pro tip: If your canned pumpkin already contains some of the spices listed, consider skipping adding them to the overall recipe.

Directions:

1. Pre-heat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. To start the recipe, whisk the two eggs in a large bowl. Then, mix in the cinnamon, sugar, ginger, salt, and pumpkin. From there, slowly stir in the milk.
3. Once the ingredients are properly mixed, pour the contents into the pie shell.
4. Once your oven is properly pre-heated, cook the pie for 15 minutes. After the time is up, decrease the temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and allow the pie to bake for an additional 40-50 minutes until its done cooking.

You’ll know the pie is done when you insert a piece of raw spaghetti or a butter knife into the center of the pie and it comes out clean. Let your pie sit for two hours on a cooling rack before serving.

If you want to spice up your Thanksgiving dessert, swirl whipped cream on the top of the pie right before you dig in. If you don’t finish all of the pie right away, make sure to the refrigerator the leftovers.
