What Is an Impossible Pie?
An impossible pie is a pie that makes its own crust. As it bakes, the batter separates into visible layers consisting of a crust on top, a luscious custard-like filling, and a pastry-like bottom crust. The bottom crust it forms is way lighter than the usual pie crusts made with dough. Seems impossible, right? But wait until you try it and see the layers for yourself!
Tips on Making Impossible Pumpkin Pie
Despite this pumpkin dessert already being easy to make, there are more valuable tips that will add to your knowledge and confidence when making it. Here’s what you need to know about this easy pumpkin pie recipe:
- If you can’t get pumpkin pie filling, you can use canned pumpkin puree. Just season it with a teaspoon or two of pie spice and add sugar one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired sweetness.
- You can also make your own pumpkin pie spice blend. Combine equal amounts of cinnamon, nutmeg, ground ginger, and allspice. You can keep the excess in a sealed container for 6 months and use them for other pumpkin recipes.
- Use coconut milk, almond milk, or oat milk as a healthier substitute for evaporated milk in pumpkin pie. On the contrary, if you want it more decadent, use half and half.
- Can’t find Bisquick? Make your own baking mix instead by mixing ½ cup of all-purpose flour with ¾ teaspoon of baking powder. It’ll work just as fine.
- Top the pie with more delicious ingredients like whipped cream, candied pecans, or caramel ice cream, for instance. You can also add marshmallows during the last 10 minutes of baking. They will come out toasted and gooey once the pie is done.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my pumpkin pie not firm?
You need to take the pie out of the oven before it completely firms up. It should still have a slight jiggle in the center. This is because it’ll continue cooking with the residual heat and will fully set as it cools. If it doesn’t, then you might have used too much liquid or too little flour. Fix this by blending an egg yolk into the filling then baking it again for another 12 to 15 minutes.
Can you freeze impossible pumpkin pie?
Yes. The fat from the egg yolk and the butter will keep the pie’s creamy texture even after freezing. It’ll stay good for 2 months.
