This <\/i>Instant Pot Pumpkin Pie <\/i><\/b>has a classic pumpkin pie filling with a crumbly Pecan Sandies cookie crust. But because it’s “baked” in the electric pressure cooker, it has a creamier texture than oven-baked pumpkin pies.  <\/i><\/p>\n

\"Instant<\/p>\n

Pumpkin Pie is a Thanksgiving classic! Even though I love baking pies<\/a>, I have to make sure I have a homemade pumpkin pie for my husband. For him, it just doesn\u2019t feel like Thanksgiving without home!<\/p>\n

I really love making Pumpkin Pie in my electric pressure cooker. The moist environment inside the pressure cooker gives your pie an extra creamy texture that you can\u2019t get from an oven!<\/p>\n

How to Cook Pumpkin Pie in the Instant Pot \/ Electric Pressure Cooker<\/b><\/h2>\n

This Instant Pot Pumpkin Pie recipe will work in any brand of electric pressure cooker, including the Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi, or Mealthy MultiPot. This pressure cooker pumpkin pie cooks in a cute little 7-inch pan, so it\u2019s a great option if you\u2019re hosting a smaller group.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Pressure Cooker Pumpkin Pie Filling<\/h2>\n

In my opinion, the best pumpkin pie recipe is the classic Libby\u2019s pumpkin pie recipe. (Does anyone else still sing Libby\u2019s on the label, label, label?)<\/p>\n

However, in order to adapt Libby’s pumpkin pie filling to the pressure cooker, a few adjustments were needed. I reduced the evaporated milk in the recipe, since there wouldn’t be much evaporation during “baking.” <\/p>\n

I also use brown sugar instead of white sugar in my pumpkin pies for a richer flavor. However, you can definitely swap an equal ratio of white sugar to get the flavor back to Libby\u2019s original.<\/p>\n

Pumpkin Pie Crust in a Pressure Cooker<\/h2>\n

A traditional pie crust doesn’t work well in a pressure cooker because it won’t “bake” up flaky. The moisture that is so good for the custard pie filling is a disaster for a traditional pie crust.<\/p>\n

For pressure cooker pie crust, I really love to make a cookie crust. The cookie crust stays a little crisper than a traditional crust on the bottom of a pumpkin pie.<\/p>\n

You can use any sort of dry, crumbly cookie. I love the flavor from pecan sandies in this recipe, but some readers have had great results with a gingersnap crust. <\/p>\n

Do I Have to Use a Springfrom Pan to Make Pumpkin Pie in an Instant Pot<\/h2>\n

A springform pan will make it much easier to remove your pie from the container before serving.<\/p>\n

However, you can use any oven-safe pan like a cake pan or glass dish. To make it easier to remove, line your pan with cut parchment paper along the bottom and sides.<\/p>\n

How to Tell When Your Pumpkin Pie Is Done<\/b> <\/h2>\n

Pumpkin pie is a custard pie, so it finishes setting up while it cools. <\/p>\n

This means that when you remove the pie from the cooking pot, it\u2019ll look a little underdone. <\/p>\n

You can\u2019t use a toothpick test to test for doneness. The classic saying is the contents “jiggle like jello but don’t wiggle like a wave.” When you bump the edge of the springform pan, you should see a set outside and the inner half should jiggle a bit. <\/p>\n

King Arthur Flour has an excellent tutorial on how to keep pumpkin pie from cracking<\/a>. remember toothpick test won’t help. It is a custard dessert so it will finish setting in the fridge<\/p>\n
