Pro Tips

  • Use full-fat canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling) for the best texture and flavor.
  • Keep an eye on the topping during the last 10 minutes of baking; if it browns too quickly, loosely tent with foil.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4–5 days. Reheat portions in the microwave or oven until warm.
