For pumpkin pie, bake until the internal temperature hits 175 degrees (use an instant-read thermometer). Be sure that the center of the pumpkin pie jiggles slightly; it will set up as it cools.

Is pumpkin pie supposed to be jiggly?

The Jiggle Test

Of course, you also want to know how to tell if pumpkin pie is done without slicing a crack or poking a hole in the filling. The best way is to gently shake it: When the pie is done, it will jiggle just slightly in the center; however, your pie should not be liquidy in any way.

How can you tell pumpkin pie is done?

A toothpick inserted halfway between the outer edge and the center of the pie should come out mostly clean. (It doesn't have to be bone dry right out of the oven—remember, the custard continues to cook as it cools.) If you have an instant-read thermometer, you can use that instead of a toothpick.
