Notes

Make ahead of time. Pumpkin pie can be kept loosely covered in the refrigerator for 3–5 days.
Suggested toppings. Dress your pie up with whipped cream, peanut brittle, sugared nuts (pecans are great!), a scoop of ice cream (vanilla, caramel or cinnamon) on each slice, mini chocolate chips or chocolate sauce.
Store. After pulling a pumpkin pie out of the oven, it has to sit and cool to room temperature. Once it has cooled, Homemade Pumpkin Pie can be left at room temperature for about two hours. Beyond that, store the pie in the refrigerator, loosely covered, for 3-5 days.
Freeze. Wrap it tightly in a couple layers of plastic wrap (and one layer of foil for good measure), and store on a flat shelf in the freezer for a month, or two at most. When you’re ready to eat the pie, let it thaw in the fridge. It will take at least 12 hours, so plan accordingly!
