Creamy, Double Layer Pumpkin Pie

homemade pumpkin pie

I wanted to have something else besides pecan pie to bring to my friends on Thanksgiving. I was thinking about doing something else slightly non-traditional.

My family was bugging me to make a pumpkin pie. And I figured, it wouldn’t really be Thanksgiving with out pumpkin pie. So, I went looking for a trusted pumpkin pie recipe to feed my family and friends.

In my search I stumbled upon something way better than regular pumpkin pie.

I found this Double Layer Pumpkin Pie from Tasty Kitchen. This pie has a creamy layer, and a pumpkin-y layer. Both families loved it. And I have to agree, it is pretty darn delicious.

It gave people a chance to feel like they were indulging with the pecan pie, then still able to have some of the lighter pumpkin pie with out going over board. [Read more...]

I can not believe Thanksgiving is right around the corner. I am not prepared for a day full of eating!

Well…maybe I am.

I did start testing recipes for the perfect pumpkin pie to serve. I love the traditional pumpkin pie, but I wanted to change things up a little this year.

About a week ago I bought a package of 6 mini graham cracker pie crusts. I had every intention of making something like Cakespy’s Ice Cream Pudding Pie, I just never got around to getting any ice cream.

Since I already had crusts, pie was the next best thing. I figured I should get myself ready for Thanksgiving, and make some pumpkin pie.

I am  still working on that same pumpkin puree, so this was a good recipe to help put another dent in that.

If anyone is looking for a great variation on the traditional pumpkin pie, this is your recipe!
