Variations
Can I use fresh pumpkin instead of canned?Yes! Roast or pur ee your pumpkin, however, be sure to drain or cook off some of the water otherwise the filling will be too moist.
What can be used instead of sweetened condensed milk?
A coconut based variety or a home made one made by simmering whole milk with sugar is worth a try. Just reminder: it might alter the flavor/texture a bit.
Can I use pumpkin pie filling?Not recommended. It’s already sweetened and spiced, which can throw off the balance of this recipe.
Can I make this pie ahead?Absolutely. In fact, it’s better after a day. Store it covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
