Description
A creamy, spiced pumpkin pie topped with fluffy toasted marshmallows — the perfect balance of nostalgia and holiday sophistication.
Ingredients
- 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups mini marshmallows or 1 cup marshmallow creme
- 1 tbsp melted butter (optional, for brushing crust edges)
- Chopped pecans or candied walnuts (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prebake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove weights and bake an additional 5 minutes until lightly golden.
- In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla until smooth. Do not overmix.
- Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes or until the center is slightly wobbly. The edges should be set.
- Cool at room temperature for 2 hours, then chill for at least 3 hours.
- Spread marshmallow creme or pile mini marshmallows on top of the cooled pie.
- Broil for 1–2 minutes or use a kitchen torch to toast until golden brown.
- Cool for 15–20 minutes before slicing. Optional: drizzle with caramel or sprinkle crushed graham crackers on top.
Notes
Bake ahead and add the marshmallow topping right before serving. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and lightly re-toast the topping if desired.
