Perfect Pumpkin Pie

Hooray! Thanksgiving is almost here! And that means it’s almost time for pumpkin pie—so what better time to share our favorite recipe? This pumpkin pie recipe is a wow-worthy winner when you use a traditional pie crust. But here’s a little secret: If you bake this filling in custard cups instead, you’ll have a power-packed dessert with only half the calories!

Ingredients

• 2 cups canned pumpkin
• 1 ½ cups evaporated skim milk
• ½ cup packed brown sugar
• ¼ cup sugar
• 1 Tbsp. blackstrap molasses
• ½ tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
• ¼ tsp. ground nutmeg
• 1 pinch ground cloves
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 pie shell, or 6 custard cups

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 300°F
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin, milk, sugars, molasses, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and eggs, and stir with a wire whisk until thoroughly blended
• Ladle into your custard cups or prepared pie crust.
• If baking in custard cups, arrange the cups on a rack set in a baking pan of hot water. The water should not go more than halfway up the sides of the cups.
• If baking in a traditional pie crust, simply pop into the oven as usual.
• Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the pie comes out clean. Chill before serving.
