How to Make a Crustless Pumpkin Pie

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and set a 9-inch glass pie dish on top of a baking sheet to catch any spills.

Whisk together the pumpkin, brown sugar, cornstarch, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and eggs in a large mixing bowl until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

Pour in the evaporated milk and stir gently, just until everything comes together—avoid overmixing.

Transfer the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie plate, spreading it evenly.

Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until the center is mostly set but still has a slight wobble.

Take the pie out of the oven and let it rest on the counter until it cools to room temperature.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled and ready to serve.

FAQs: Gluten Free Crustless Pumpkin Pie

Is crustless pumpkin pie gluten-free?

Yes! Since this recipe skips the crust, it’s naturally gluten-free. However, always double-check labels on canned pumpkin and spices to ensure no hidden gluten.

Which gluten-free flour makes the best pie crust?

If you’d like to add a crust later, try these gluten-free flours:

• Almond flour: Nutty flavor, great for sweet pies.
• Coconut flour: Absorbs liquid, so use in blends (1:1 substitutes often require adjustments).
• Gluten-free all-purpose blend (e.g., Bob’s Red Mill): Reliable for mimicking wheat flour.

Does Trader Joe’s make a gluten-free pie crust?

Yes! Trader Joe’s offers a Gluten-Free Pie Crust made with rice flour and available frozen. Thaw according to package instructions and pre-bake if desired.

Can pumpkin pie be made without a crust?

Absolutely! This recipe proves it. Omitting the crust cuts prep time and makes the pie gluten-free by default. It’s also lower in carbs and calories.

How to Store:

• Refrigerator: Keep chilled for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
• Freezer: Freeze unserved portions for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
