A few weeks ago, my dad had a bizarre request: he asked me to make a lasagna dish I’ve made in the past, along with some pumpkin pie. It’s May. Making lasagna is no big deal, but a pumpkin pie? We just got rid of the winter, I’m not ready to conjure up all those “warm fuzzy holiday” feelings quite yet.. but I’ll do it, just for dad. Besides, making a pumpkin pie is probably easier than making a lasagna, and finding the proper ingredients this time of year is no problem, thanks to canned pumpkin by Libby’s.
So, I headed to my local supermarket and picked up four items on my list: a disposable metal baking dish (I don’t want to be bothered with cleanup) a pre-made pie shell, a can of Libby’s pumpkin, and a can of Nestle Carnation Evaporated Milk. I try to make foods as fresh as possible, but when it comes to baking, cans are a time saver. Who wants to sit and steam, peel, and mash a pumpkin to make a pumpkin pie, and seriously- WHERE are you going to find pumpkin this time of year? Did you know you can’t use just any pumpkin to make a pumpkin pie? Libby’s canned fruit takes out the guess work of pumpkin filling and uses only all natural pumpkin and nothing else! FYI- pumpkin is very high in Vitamin A, so eat up! It’s healthy!
Check out the recipe below for Libby’s Famous Pumpkin pie. Super easy to make and very delicious!
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 large eggs
- 1 can (15 oz.) LIBBY’S® 100% Pure Pumpkin
- 1 can (12 fl. oz.) NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Evaporated Milk
- 1 unbaked 9-inch (4-cup volume) deep-dish pie shell
- Whipped cream (optional)
Directions
MIX sugar, cinnamon, salt, ginger and cloves in small bowl. Beat eggs in large bowl. Stir in pumpkin and sugar-spice mixture. Gradually stir in evaporated milk.
POUR into pie shell.
BAKE in preheated 425° F oven for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350° F; bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack for 2 hours. Serve immediately or refrigerate. Top with whipped cream before serving.
It was gone within HOURS!

I LOVE pumpkin any time of year!
Who ever said you can’t have pumpkin pie year round!
Gah, that looks delicious. I’m totally craving a big slice of pumpkin pie now!!

Anytime is a good time for Pumpkin Pie!
Never thought about making a pumpkin pie in May!
I love pumpkin pie, all year!
That’s one thing I love about canned goods – you can get fruits and veggies even when they’re not technically “in season”. Because sometimes, you just gotta have pumpkin pie!
I make mine with coconut milk
That would actually be a fun treat to have it at this time of year for a change!
Looks delish. I wish I really liked pies.
I make a killer pumpkin cheesecake with Libbys! But today I actually popped open a can and made some pumpkin and spinach soup. Yum!
Yes you can! I cook with pumpkin year round because my family loves it!
Yum! I love pumpkin pie anytime of year!
You can never go wrong with Libby’s.
I have been craving Thanksgiving type food for the past few weeks. I finally caved and am making turkey and cranberry sauce for dinner tonight. I should have thought to add a delicious pumpkin pie to the mix!
I am ALWAYS in the mood for Thanksgiving food, especially pie!
I love pumpkin pie!
My husband loves pumpkin pie, but I’ve never been a fan of it.
It’s still pretty cool in Portland so pumpkin pie would work. Now I want a piece.
Pumpkin pie is great at anytime! 🙂
Pumpkin pie is my favourite. I could eat it every day.

I love using canned pumpkin in recipes especially pumpkin bread 🙂
