Impossible Pumpkin Pie Recipe:

What is an Impossible Pumpkin Pie? It’s a magic pumpkin pie that is impossibly easy to make. Trust me, you cannot screw up this pie.  The magic ingredient is Bisquick. Somehow, someway, you mix together all the ingredients and pour it into a pan (WITHOUT A PIE CRUST), and everything moves and settles. Before you know it, you have a perfect, tasty pumpkin pie that forms its own crust. Pure Magic.

Now, this needs to stated…this magic pumpkin pie will not ever replace our Grandma’s Pumpkin Chiffon Pie.  These two recipes are in two completely different ballgames.  Grandma’s version is airy and light, and this recipe is a dense, traditional pie. I love them both.  In all honesty, I think this one is easier to make.

Why is it called an Impossible Pie?

Impossible Pies makes their own crust which sounds quite impossible!  Bisquick Baking Mix is used in most impossible pies to magically make a crust.  All the ingredients are blended together, yet during the baking process, the layers separate into two layers.

  • Next, combine eggs, Bisquick Baking Mix, pumpkin, sugar, evaporated milk, water, cloves, ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg with a mixer until smooth.
  • Pour into prepared pie plate.
  • Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until center is set.

  1. In the early 1980’s, I found this on the back of the Bisquick box, and it was a hit with the family. After moving, somehow the recipe was lost. When I got another from Betty Crocker, the amounts had changed. You didn’t use a can of pumpkin, just 1 cup. Same with the milk, and it was a changed recipe. Not as light and fluffy. I noticed you did not add melted butter. I wondered why? The original one had 1/2 stick of melted butter. Fingers crossed this is like the original, even without the butter!
