Pumpkin pie is one of those desserts that feels almost impossible to pull off without eggs — and yet here it is, fully set, perfectly sliceable, and deeply spiced without a single one. The secret is a combination of sweetened condensed milk and cornstarch, which together create a filling that firms up beautifully in the oven and holds its shape when you cut into it. Pumpkin puree, heavy cream, and vanilla round out the base, while cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice layer in that classic warmth you expect from a holiday slice. The two-stage baking method — starting hot at 425°F before dropping to 350°F — gives the crust a head start and ensures the filling sets from the edges in without cracking. You're looking for just a slight wobble in the center when you pull it from the oven, and then patience while it cools for at least two hours (the filling keeps firming as it rests). This recipe makes eight generous slices, so it's ideal for a full table. Finish each piece with a cloud of whipped cream and nobody will miss what isn't there.

Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 425°F (220°C). Fit the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, crimp the edges, and refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and salt until smooth and no cornstarch lumps remain.
