For an extra layer of flavor, try browning the butter before adding it to the pumpkin mixture. If you don't have pumpkin pie spice on hand, you can make your own by combining cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Serve chilled with a dollop of freshly whipped cream, a sprinkle of toasted pecans, or a drizzle of maple syrup. The pie can be made 1-2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Gently press the pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate, crimping the edges for a decorative touch. (5 minutes)
02
Step
3 mins
In a large bowl, whisk the ricotta cheese into the lightly beaten eggs until the mixture is exceptionally smooth and creamy. (3 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
Add the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, evaporated milk, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt to the ricotta mixture. Stir until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the batter is velvety in texture. (5 minutes)
04
Step
2 mins
Carefully pour the pumpkin-ricotta filling into the prepared pie crust, ensuring it's evenly distributed. (2 minutes)
05
Step
47 mins
Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is set, but with a slight jiggle in the center. This should take approximately 45-50 minutes. To prevent the crust from browning too quickly, you may need to cover the edges with foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
06
Step
10 mins
Once baked, let the pie cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This allows the filling to set further. (10 minutes)
07
Step
2 hrs
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the pie to chill thoroughly.
