Easiest Pumpkin Pie … Without Crust! 

I’ve made quite a few crustless pies over the years, including Cranberry, Blueberry, Strawberry, and Apple. All of them have been huge reader favorites and big hits. Maybe that’s because you all don’t like making pie crust either! It’s never been one of my favorite things to make.

With this ridiculously easy no crust pumpkin pie, there’s no crust to make, the pie is made in one bowl, and no need to drag out a mixer. You add all the ingredients to one bowl at the same time and the batter takes less than 5 minutes to whisk together. I could not think of an easier pie to make. 

If you’re in charge of making the pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or other holiday celebrations, and you want something fast, easy, and goof-proof, this is the pie to make.

Crustless Pumpkin Pie Ingredients 

Believe it or not, I made this recipe for crustless pumpkin pie with Bisquick! Without the firm crust holding the filling together, you need something to help bind the filling into a proper “pie.” 

This is such a basic ingredients list that you may have everything on hand to make the easiest ever pumpkin pie:

Note: Scroll down to the recipe card section of the post for the ingredients with amounts included and for more complete directions.

How to Make Crustless Pumpkin Pie

Making Bisquick pumpkin pie without crust is SO much easier than making a traditional pumpkin pie. Win! 

Here’s an overview of how the no-crust pumpkin pie is made: 

  1. Whisk together all the ingredients, turn into a 9-inch pie plate, and bake! 
  2. Allow the no crust pumpkin pie to cool at room temp for about 30 minutes, then cover and allow pie to chill in the fridge for about 3 to 4 hours. 
  3. Dollop with whipped cream and dig in! 

Serving Suggestions

Serving this pumpkin pie with whipped topping, real whipped cream, or ice cream make it extra delish.

Recipe FAQs

Can I Use Canned Pumpkin Pie Filling? 

No, you need to use pure pumpkin puree for this recipe. Canned pumpkin pie filling already has spices and sweeteners added to it, and every brand flavors it differently. I prefer using pure pumpkin puree so I can flavor my no crust pumpkin pie exactly as I like it. 

Can the Evaporated Milk Be Substituted? 

No, you must make the no-crust pumpkin pie with evaporated milk. Do NOT sub sweetened condensed milk as it’s a different product entirely. 

Can I Use Another Type of Pancake Mix? 

Yes, any pancake mix that’s similar to Bisquick will work. You can even use a gluten-free variety if needed. Just don’t omit the Bisquick entirely as it helps the pie set up, and it also makes it sort of a self-crusting pumpkin pie. 

Can This Pie Be Made Ahead of Time? 

This is a great pie to make a day ahead of time since it has to chill for at least 4 hours anyways before being sliced. Perfect for prepping before Thanksgiving, Christmas, or another holiday! 

How will I know when the pie is done baking?

You’ll know the pie is done when it’s set in the center, not jiggly, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Can I Use fewer spices?

Cinnamon, ginger, and cloves are already in pumpkin pie spice (as well as nutmeg, cardamom, and other spices), but I added extra cinnamon, ginger, and cloves to give this pie the extra oomph and bold spiced flavoring that I love. It’s not overdone in my opinion, but if you like more muted flavors, dial back the spice quantities I used to suit your own tastes.

Storage Instructions

In the fridge: This impossible pumpkin pie should be covered and stored airtight in the fridge. It’ll last up to 5 days. 

In the freezer: I’ve never frozen it so can’t say how it will survive the freezing and thawing process.

Ingredients  

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • ½ cup Bisquick, or similar complete pancake mix
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • whipped topping or whipped cream, for serving

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350F and spray a 9-inch glass pie plate with cooking spray; set aside.
  • To a large bowl, add all the ingredients (except the whipped topping) and whisk well to combine. Pour into prepared pie plate.
  • Bake for about 35 to 40 minutes, or until pie is set in the center, not jiggly, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow pie to cool at room temp for about 30 minutes.
  • Cover and allow pie to chill in the fridge for about 3 to 4 hours, or sufficiently chilled.
  • Serve with whipped topping or whipped cream.

Notes

Note: I like pumpkin desserts to have plenty of pumpkin spice and oomph so they don’t taste bland. If you prefer more muted flavors, reduce the amount of spices and/or omit adding the additional cinnamon, ginger, and cloves.
Storage: Pie will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days.

  1. I make all your Crustless Pies – easy-peasy and delish! But could I make this Pumpkin one with the same crust as the others = like a Crustless Strawberry pie?

    1. This is just like all the others (strawberry, blueberry) in that there is no actual crust. Just follow the recipe like I instruct if you want a crustless pie.

      If you are looking for more traditional pumpkin pie, then you would make https://www.averiecooks.com/pumpkin-pecan-pie/ and just skip the pecans if you want purely pumpkin pie with crust.
