Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 and pull pie crust from freezer to thaw for 30 minutes while prepping pie filling.
- In a bowl, combine pumpkin, pie spice, egg whites, sugar and evaporated milk.
- Whisk until combined.
- Add filling to the BOTTOM of the pie crust crimp line as shown in the video, do not fill to the top. Reserve the rest of the filling and refrigerate.
- Bake for 55 minutes until center is solid.
- Transfer to wire rack to cool completely. (Or put in the fridge if you need it sooner than later) While it's cooling, you can spray small 4-6" ramekins and bake the rest of the pie filling for 55 minutes or until solid. Top with whatever you like!
- When main pie is cooled to room temperature, open the can of Dulce De Leche and spread it evenly over the top. Refrigerate pie until ready to serve.
