Instructions

  5. In another bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until smooth.
  6. Pour the filling into the prepared crust.
  7. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the pie cool completely at room temperature.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
