How to Make This Easy Egg-Free Pumpkin Pie Recipe:
I used a store-bought pie crust and canned pumpkin for convenience, but you can always upgrade with homemade versions if you prefer.
1. To prepare the refrigerated pie crust: Preheat oven to 450°F. Bring crust to room temperature and then gently unroll crust onto an ungreased 9-inch pie pan (preferably a glass pan so that you can see the bottom of crust to make sure it’s not burn and/or burning). Press against sides and bottom of pan. Partially bake pie crust for about 5-7 minutes or until just beginning to firm and brown (this will help crust cook evenly and not be soggy when adding filling). Set aside.
2. To make the filling: Reduce oven temperature to 400°F. In a large bowl, add sweetened condensed milk, pumpkin, cornstarch, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth and no lumps remain. Pour into prepared crust.
3. Bake and enjoy: Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until filling is firm. Let cool to room temperature and then refrigerate until ready to serve.
Tips and Tricks:
- Be sure to bring the refrigerated crust to room temperature before baking: This will make it easier to roll onto the pie plate.
- Use a glass pie plate: This is helpful so that you can check the bottom of the pie to make sure it’s not burnt (or burning).
- Use pie weights: while it’s not necessary, you can use them when baking the crust to make sure it bakes up evenly.
- Use canned pure pumpkin: Make sure to use this and not pumpkin pie filling, as the two are not the same.
- Keep an eye on the oven times: So the pie doesn’t over-bake and crack in the middle. The filling should be firm around the edges but have a slightly jiggle in the middle.
- To prevent excess browning of the crust: cover the sides of aluminum foil when ready to bake.
How to Serve:
I love serving this pie with a generous dollop of homemade whipped cream. If I’m feeling extra indulgent, I’ll top it with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.
How to Store:
Once cooled, cover the pie tightly with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator. It’ll stay fresh for up to four days.
Can You Freeze This Eggless Pie?
Absolutely! Let the pie cool completely to room temperature and then wrap tightly with plastic wrap and aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. Store in the freezer for up to three months. When ready to serve, defrost in the refrigerator.
Can You Make This Ahead of Time?
Yes! You can make this up to one day in advance and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

This was the best pumpkin pie recipe I’ve ever made! I have a new allergy to eggs and wasn’t even sure you could make pumpkin pie without them, but wow, even if I could eat eggs I’d still use this recipe! Thank you!
I’m so glad you enjoyed, Jillian!
Mine didn’t set 😕 it’s very soupy! What’d i do wrong??
Hi Kathy! I have no idea what would’ve gone wrong since I wasn’t in the kitchen with you. Are you sure you used the correct measurements? It’s only one (14 ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk and one (15 ounce) can of pumpkin. The pie shouldn’t have been soupy, especially since it doesn’t really have a liquid to begin with (i.e. no milk, etc). Your oven may need more baking time than 50-55 minutes? Again, I’m not sure what went wrong, I can only assume you added too much condensed milk or pumpkin which would cause excess liquid, but I’ve never had soupy pie before and I’ve made this countless times. So sorry that happened!
My family LOVED this pie! My son is allergic to eggs so I wanted to test this version before I made it for Thanksgiving. It took about 1 hour 5 min to bake in my oven and I covered the crusts so it wouldn’t burn and it was so good. I will definitely be making this for the holidays.
Followed directions and crust was raw on bottom. Blind bake time is too short. Filling didn’t have much flavor. Would not recommend.
I’m sorry to hear that, Christine! Did you bake the crust some before adding the filling? I’ve never had a problem with the crust being underbaked. As for the flavor, I find this to taste exactly like my favorite ‘egg’ pumpkin pie, as it’s sweetened and has that rich, pumpkin flavor.
