Autumn Recipe Thanksgiving

Crustless Pumpkin Pie with Streusel Topping

I have always been a big fan of pumpkin pie, but I have to be honest that my least favourite part is the crust. It doesn’t help that the pie crust is also where most of the work is. So I wondered…can you make pumpkin pie without the crust?

Yes you can….and it is delicious.

After looking up many recipes, I realized that the key to a good crustless pie, is the addition of eggs, to help firm it up and give it structure that it would usually get from the crust. I found a great recipe by The Frugal Girl, and then went from there.

It turned out fantastic and the best part is that it has less calories than traditional pumpkin pie, and less sugar as well. The streusel topping still gives it a little bit of crunch and a caramel-like taste from the brown sugar. The only thing we were missing was a big dollop of whipped cream.

What you’ll need:
2 cups canned Pure Pumpkin Puree (Not Pumpkin Pie Filling)
1 can (12 oz.) Evaporated Milk
2 Eggs
1/2 cup Sugar
1/2 cup All Purpose Flour
1-1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (OR 1 tsp Cinnamon and 1/8 tsp each of Allspice, Cloves, Nutmeg, and Ginger)
3/4 tsp Baking Powder
1/4 tsp Salt

Streusel Topping:
1/4 cup Brown Sugar
1/4 cup Quick Cooking Oats
2 tsp Butter

Preheat oven to 350° F.

In a large bowl, combine pumpkin, milk, eggs, sugar, flour, spices, baking powder, and salt. Mix until smooth.

Pour into greased 9-inch pie plate. Combine brown sugar and oats, and cut in butter. Sprinkle over pie filling.

Bake 50-55 minutes or until knife inserted into center of pie comes out clean.

This was all that was left of it by the time Garrett took photos for me the next day (yes, he was the photographer for me because it was still dark when I left for work. Thanks honey!)

Needless to say, this is all gone by now. And he is already asking me to make another one for Thanksgiving this weekend. No need to twist my arm on that one!

    Mmmmm!! This recipe looks so delish Amanda! We love pumpkin pie, but have never tried it with a streusal topping! Great idea!

    What a great idea! I’m not a huge fan of crust either, so I may give this a try.

    Neat idea. I always think of that old coconut custard crustless recipe, but this looks like a great twist. Looking forward to trying it.

    I’d love to have you link to my weekly party – Seasonal Sundays – one of these Sundays!
