How do you know when a pumpkin pie is done?
Pumpkin pie has a custard like texture and will be slightly jiggly in the center even when it’s completely done.
The texture of the pie is not like cake, but you need to make sure its completely cooked! I usually insert a toothpick at the center of the pumpkin pie and if it comes out clean it’s done. If any uncooked batter is sticking on the toothpick, it’s definitely not done baking.
However, unlike a cake, where the toothoick comes out completely dry, I have noticed that the toothpick comes out a little wet even when the pie is done baking.
