Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs Crushed
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 0.25 cups granulated sugar
For the Filling
  • 1 15 ounce can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
  • 0.25 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Topping (Optional)
  • whipped cream or whipped topping
  • pecan halves, for garnish
  • cinnamon, for dusting

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 7-inch springform pan.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree with sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition. Fold in pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt, then stir in vanilla extract.
Cooking
  1. Pour the filling into the prepared crust and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
  2. Pour 1.5 cups of water into your Instant Pot and place the trivet inside. Set the springform pan on top of the trivet, seal the lid, and set to Manual/Pressure Cook for 30 minutes.
  3. After cooking, allow for a natural release for 15 minutes, then switch to a quick release to remove the lid.
Cooling and Serving
  1. Remove the springform pan from the Instant Pot and let the pie cool for 1-2 hours at room temperature. For best flavor, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  2. Serve topped with whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and pecans if desired.

Notes

For a lighter pie, consider using sugar substitutes or coconut cream for a dairy-free version.
