Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (15-ounces / 425 grams) can pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- 1 (12-ounces / 340 milliliters) can evaporated milk
Sugars and Spices:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Crisp Topping:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350°F (175°C) and lightly coating a 9×9-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
- Create a smooth pumpkin base by whisking together pumpkin puree, both sugars, spices, and salt in a large mixing bowl until fully integrated.
- Incorporate eggs, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract into the pumpkin mixture, blending until the texture becomes uniform and silky.
- Transfer the pumpkin blend into the prepared baking dish, ensuring an even distribution.
- Craft the crisp topping by combining flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Work cold butter into the dry ingredients using fingertips or a pastry cutter until the mixture forms crumbly, pea-sized clusters.
- Generously scatter the crisp topping across the entire pumpkin surface, covering it completely.
- Slide the dish into the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, watching for a golden-brown topping and a set pumpkin filling.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes to allow the dessert to stabilize and set.
- Serve warm, optionally garnished with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Swap canned pumpkin with fresh roasted pumpkin puree for a more authentic, deeper flavor profile that elevates the entire dessert.
- Consider using gluten-free oats and almond flour to make this recipe completely gluten-free without compromising texture or taste.
- Reduce sugar content by substituting some granulated sugar with natural sweeteners like maple syrup or honey for a healthier twist.
- Enhance warmth and complexity by toasting oats and nuts before adding to the crisp topping, which develops richer caramelized undertones.
