Whisk in the eggs until fully incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually whisk in the evaporated milk until the filling is smooth.

Step 5

Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.

Step 6

Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and continue baking for 40-45 minutes, until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing.

Step 8

Serve chilled or at room temperature.
