Step-by-Step Method
Preheat and prep the dish
Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish so the squares lift out neatly.
Whisk the base
In a mixing bowl, whisk pumpkin purée, evaporated milk, eggs, and sugar until smooth.
Season the batter
Add pumpkin pie spice and salt, then whisk briefly to evenly distribute the spices.
Pour and level
Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Add the crunch layer
Scatter the chopped pecans over the surface. Drizzle the melted butter slowly so it covers the top as evenly as you can.
Bake
Bake for 50 minutes. The edges should look set and the center should jiggle slightly when you nudge the pan.
Cool and serve
Let it cool for 20–30 minutes before slicing. Serve as-is, or add a spoon of whipped cream if you like.
