Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C).

Peel, seed, and dice the fresh pumpkin into 1/2-inch chunks.

Step 7

Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set but slightly jiggly in the center.

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours before serving.

Step 10

Serve as is or topped with whipped cream for extra indulgence.
