  • 1 15 oz. can pumpkin puree

  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1 8 oz. container whipped topping frozen

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Combine pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, pumpkin spice, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix until combined - it will be runny.
