Is using powdered milk necessary?
Yes and no. It does turn out more thick with powdered milk. However, it is not 100% necessary. If you wanted to go with the traditional liquid cows milk, I would recommend only putting half the conversion amount in.
What I mean by that is ⅓ cup powder produces 1 cup of milk. However, this recipe uses 1 cup powder which would convert to using 3 cups of milk. That would over flow the pan though, so I would recommend using only 1 ½ cups of cows milk.
How to store crustless pumpkin pie recipe:
- fridge-I store mine in the fridge in an air tight container for up to one week
- freezer-I have not tried freezing this crustless pumpkine pie recipe. I do not know how it would freeze because it is a custard. After it thaws, it might be rather watery. If you want to try freezing it, let me know how it goes.
