FAQs

1. Can I use fresh pumpkin instead of canned?

Yes, you can use fresh pumpkin if you prefer. Simply roast a small pumpkin, scoop out the flesh, and puree it until smooth.

2. Can I substitute the evaporated milk with regular milk?

It is not recommended to substitute evaporated milk with regular milk as it may affect the consistency and flavor of the pie. Evaporated milk provides a creamier texture.

3. How do I prevent my pie crust from burning?

To prevent the pie crust from burning, you can cover the edges with aluminum foil or a pie crust shield during baking. This will help protect the crust while the filling cooks.
