How To Make Costco’s Pumpkin Pie
Creamy, rich, and the most delicious pumpkin pie out there, learn the secret of how to make Costco’s pumpkin pie.
Is Costco’s pumpkin pie a staple in your Thanksgiving dinner routine?
Not only has Costco mastered the art of making me buy what I didn’t need in the first place, but they have also mastered the pumpkin pie which is nothing short of a Thanksgiving legend and has resulted in shopper aggression on more than one occasion.
There is something about Costco’s samples and pumpkin pie that can take the gentlest of housewives and turn them into fighting machines every autumn.
What makes this 3.5 lb treat worth fighting for? Well, it is creamy, smooth, and melts in your mouth.
Its deliciousness has ruined my ability to fully enjoy the lesser versions. So what is the secret?
Heavy cream, for one thing. (I mean really what doesn’t taste better with more fat?)And egg yolks for that richer texture.
When I did some research I found several blogs with copycat recipes, but Savor the Best had the most thorough explanation of what made Costco’s pumpkin pie stand out above the rest. With some slight process changes on my end, the original recipe needs to be credited to her.
I promise you will not regret giving this pumpkin pie recipe a try!
Bon appetit!

Costco really has mastered the pumpkin pie or at least the filling. They need a little improvement with the crust 🙂 It is so easy to buy those monster sized pies but sometimes you just gotta have the satisfaction of baking it yourself. Thanks for the credit

You’re missing the amount for the cloves
Oh my goodness you are right. It is updated now. Thanks for letting me know.
Didn’t like the taste at all but I’ve never made pumpkin pie either. No hate to the original creator maybe I messed up the recipe, but all I know is that I don’t liked how it turned out.
Oh I’m so sorry to hear that! Hmm, I should make the recipe again and ensure that all the ingredients and instructions are right. Thanks for the feedback!
Costco pumpkin pie is a bit too sweet for me (but you can’t beat the price!)
It’s so true! I cannot believe it is still only $5.
Letting it cool for 2 HOURS? lol lol. No.
Haha. I can appreciate that.
