Pumpkin pie made with fresh pumpkin puree is the perfect dessert to compliment your holiday dinner! It is easy to make and the flavor the fresh puree adds is amazing.
Mix flour, brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice with a whisk in a mixing bowl. Do not use any mixers (no hand or stand mixers for filling.)
Add eggs and vanilla, mix just until incorporated with no big lumps.
Add in the pumpkin puree and Greek yogurt. Mix until incorporated.
Slowly pour in the evaporated milk while mixing gently. Slowly stir back and forth so you don't create a froth on top of filling.
Carefully pour the filling into the pie crust.
Bake uncovered for 15 minutes at 425°.Reduce temperature to 350° F and bake for another 40-50 minutes.
Look for it to slightly change color to a darker shade and the filling to puff up on the edges. Test it by inserting a toothpick in the center, it should come out mostly clean. You can also do a jiggle test - if the inside of the pie jiggles slightly but the edges do not, it is done.
Remove from oven and allow to cool about 2 hours on a cooling rack before placing in the fridge (or serving.) Be sure to keep in the fridge once cooled.
Notes
The nutritional values are estimated and so are the serving sizes. There are many pie crusts you can use from graham cracker to a pastry crust so a crust was not added to the nutritional values.Sour cream and Greek plain yogurt can be used interchangeably in this recipe. We have tried them both many times!Evaporated milk should be shaken before pouring out of the can, but shaking it causes bubbles. Shake well and pour into a measuring cup or a bowl and set aside while preparing the rest of the pie to allow most of the bubbles to go away.If you have bubbles in the center of your pie before it goes in the oven, you will end up with a slight discoloration in the center with a slightly different look in the center. This will not affect taste but if this happens, you can cover it up with some whipped cream!This will not fit in a standard 9 inch pie plate, I use a 9.5 inch pie plate.
