Note

Use solid-pack pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to control the sweetness and spice levels.

For a vegan version, use a vegan graham cracker crust and substitute the eggs with a flax egg or commercial egg replacer, and use plant-based yogurt and evaporated milk.

The pie will continue to set as it cools. Do not overbake, or the filling may crack.

Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
