very soft like liquid?
Pumpkin pie is really a custard with pumpkin in it. the egg needs to cook enough to set, or get "hard". When cooked and cooled, it will have the consistency of a firm pudding, but it would hold it's shape when you cut it, and not soup out.

You should bake your pie until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Pie should be firm and not mushy. What you're making when you bake a pumkin pie is really a custard in a pie shell. Make sure it's well done because of the eggs in it.

This why I prefer making pumpkin cake or bread. It has the same flavor as pumpkin pie without the mushy texture.

Pumpkin pie should be like a custard in it's filling. It should hold it's shape firmly on the plate but still be creamy in your mouth.

Yes, that is how it is. Very yummy. Same with sweet potato pie.
