It doesn’t have a pastry crust, but the Bisquick gives the custard enough structure that it slices easily and feels substantial. For the perfect finish, top with whipped cream and a sprinkling of pumpkin pie spice.
1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin puree
¾ cup heavy cream
½ cup water
2 large eggs at room temperature
½ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
½ cup Bisquick baking mix
2½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
½ teaspoon kosher salt
Preheat your oven to 350°F and set a rack to the middle position. Spray a deep 8-inch pie plate with cooking spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all ingredients until blended and smooth. Pour into the pie plate and bake until a knife inserted into the center of the pie comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This pie may be served warm or cold.
