A perfect gluten-free Thanksgiving feast isn't truly finished without a delicious gluten-free pumpkin pie to wrap up the meal on a sweet and satisfying note. Learn all the tips to make a smooth and rich homemade pumpkin pie with a flaky gluten-free crust and a creamy pumpkin filling.
Prepare your gluten-free pie crust according to recipe instructions. Par-bake the crust on a standard 9-inch pie pan. Allow it to cool for some time while you prepare the filling.
1 Gluten-free Pie Crust
Mix the pie filling
In a bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the filling.
1 15 Ounce Can Pumpkin Puree, 1 12 Ounce Can Evaporated Milk, 2 Large Eggs, ¾ Cup Sugar, 1 Teaspoon Vanilla , 1 ¼ Teaspoons Cinnamon , ½ Teaspoon Ground Ginger, ¼ Teaspoon Ground Cloves
Mix the filling until it looks like a thin cake batter.
Bake and cool
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Pour the pumpkin pie filling into the prepared gluten-free pie crust.
Bake the pumpkin pie at 375°F for 10 minutes.
Lower the oven temperature to 300°F.
Continue to bake the pumpkin pie for 35-45 more minutes or until the pie is mostly set, with just a little bit of jiggle if you shimmy the pie.
Remove the pumpkin pie and let it sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes until it is cooled.
Place the cooled pie in the fridge for at least two hours or up to two days before serving.
Serve cold or at room temperature, plain or with some whipped cream.
