- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 20 minutes
- Total Time: 45 minutes (with cooling)
- Yield: 8 slices 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice mix
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 5 Tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 1/2 cups milk
- 1 cup pumpkin purée
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 easy gluten-free pie crust recipe
Instructions
- Prepare pie crust in a nine inch pie plate (use a flax egg to make it egg-free if desired). I’ve been using the recipe linked to in the ingredients because it’s so much less messy, but you could also use a roll-out recipe like this one.
- Combine pumpkin pie spice, sugar, and cornstarch together in a sauce pan.
- Add milk and stir together. The spices probably won’t mix in well until the milk gets hot, but you should stir it until the cornstarch is well incorporated.
- Stir in pumpkin purée.
- Heat over medium heat, stirring, until thick and bubbling.
- Remove from heat and add vanilla.
- Let cool for ten minutes, and pour into crust.
- Chill, preferably overnight.
- Top with whipped topping of choice and serve.
- Enjoy!
