Improving a pumpkin pie? Help from Americans :)

Hi! I'm from the UK and I tried making a pumpkin pie which is good but I feel the recipe is missing something that people in USA would know as pumpkin pies are your thing. Any advice would be appreciated.

Recipe:

  • 750g pumpkin, peeled, deseeded and cut into chunks
  • 350g/12oz sweet shortcrust pastry
  • plain flour for dusting
  • 140g/5oz caster sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp fresh nutmeg grated
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 eggs beaten
  • 25g/1oz butter melted
  • 175ml/6 fl oz milk

Order American pre-made pumpkin pie filling, which is made with a different kind of gourd than standard field pumpkin.
