Perfect Pumpkin Pie

Thanksgiving isn’t Thanksgiving without a classic pumpkin pie.  It doesn’t matter how many other pies there are at Thanksgiving dinner, pumpkin is required.  Top it with cinnamon whipped cream for the perfect holiday dessert.

This year we will celebrating Thanksgiving in Utah with all of our kids.  We have a lot of extended family there too, so we gather for a Pie Night the night before Thanksgiving.  It was my son’s idea and it makes perfect sense.  On Thanksgiving day you fill up on so much amazing food that you end up with no room for dessert.  So this year, we are going to enjoy our dessert first!

I have to admit I’m a little bit more of a fruit pie fan.  I can’t pass up a lemon pie or berry pie in any shape or form but I’ve learned to appreciate pumpkin pie as I’ve gotten older.  My husband is the big pumpkin pie fan in our family though.  As a child though his love of Thanksgiving and pumpkin pie took a major hit when he went early to his Grandma’s house to help her get ready for Thanksgiving and discovered that the pumpkin pie he loved so much was really made with Hubbard squash.  He managed to recover from the shock though and continues to enjoy pumpkin pie today.

Pumpkin Pie with leaf cut out crust

This pie is just the right combo of pumpkin and spice and the texture is perfectly smooth.  I got a little fancy with my pie crust and had fun adding some pastry crust leaves to dress it up.

I just gave them an egg wash bath before baking. My perfect pie crust recipe makes enough for two pie crusts so I used the second one to make the leaves.

I love ice cream with most pies but with pumpkin, I prefer whipped cream.  I usually add a little cinnamon to the whipped cream along with some sugar for a special touch.  Your guests will love cinnamon whipped cream.

    What is the difference in using condensed milk over evaporated milk?

      They are two different things. Sweetened condensed milk is thick and sweet and evaporated milk is much thinner and more milk like. You will find them side by side in the baking aisle usually.
