The Ultimate Homemade Pumpkin Pie with Real Roasted Pumpkin

Homemade Pumpkin Pie with Real Pumpkin Purée 🎃🥧

Nothing says fall like a warm, spiced slice of pumpkin pie! 🍂 This homemade pumpkin pie skips the canned purée and uses real roasted pumpkin for a richer, fresher taste. With cozy spices, creamy filling, and a flaky crust, it’s the perfect centerpiece for your Thanksgiving table—or any autumn gathering.

Why Use Fresh Pumpkin? 🥬✨

While canned pumpkin is convenient, roasting your own pumpkin adds depth and natural sweetness to the pie. Plus, it gives you a zero-waste moment—you can roast the seeds for snacking or garnish! 💡

The extra 20 minutes of roasting pays off with a pie that feels homemade in the best way possible: smooth, fragrant, and not overly sweet.

Step-by-Step Pumpkin Pie 🥧

Making pumpkin pie from scratch might sound intimidating, but it’s surprisingly simple. Here’s the flow:

1. Roast the pumpkin → tender, golden, and ready to blend.
2. Mix the filling → eggs, roasted purée, warm spices, and creamy milk.
3. Bake the pie → start hot to set the crust, then lower the temperature to cook the filling gently.
4. Cool and serve → the hardest part is waiting!

Serving Ideas 🍽️

• Classic: topped with lightly sweetened whipped cream.
• Extra indulgent: a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
• Elegant: dust with cinnamon or nutmeg before serving.

Tips for the Best Pumpkin Pie 📝

• Roast your pumpkin a day ahead to save time.
• Always shield your pie crust edges so they don’t burn.
• Allow the pie to cool completely—this ensures clean, picture-perfect slices.

Perfect for Thanksgiving & Beyond 🍁
