Tips:

  • Clean and prepare the pumpkin: Cut the pumpkin in half, scoop out the seeds and pulp, and brush the inside with melted butter.
  • Roast the pumpkin: Place the pumpkin halves cut-side up on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven until tender.
  • Make the filling: While the pumpkin is roasting, make the filling by combining evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract in a large bowl.
  • Assemble the pie: Once the pumpkin is roasted and the filling is made, place the pumpkin halves in a pie crust and pour the filling over top.
  • Bake the pie: Bake the pie in a preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
  • Let the pie cool: Let the pie cool completely before serving.

Conclusion:

Making a jack-o'-lantern pie is a fun and festive way to celebrate Halloween. With its creamy, pumpkin-y filling and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with family and friends.
