Pie of the Week #5 // Pumpkin Cream

I’m a serious fan of pumpkin pie. It’s always the pie that I gravitate toward at the dessert table on Thanksgiving and the first pie I think of making when the calendar turns over to fall. So naturally, I’ve already made a handful of pies this fall, including a pumpkin pie of the more classic variety, but when I saw a recipe in Food & Wine for Pumpkin Cream Pie, I knew it had to be made and shared as well.

My little toddler helper assisted me in the making of this pie, so you’ll see her handiwork everywhere in the wonky edges of the crust, but it’s been so fun baking together and teaching her to enjoy time in the kitchen. Although it requires much more mess and time, I’m thankful to be starting traditions with her in the kitchen at a young age.

The original recipe called for a chocolate cookie crust, which would have, in my opinion, been perfection. But since we had some pie crust already made, I figured we would go the more traditional route. If you were to make this at home, I highly suggest a graham cracker crust or chocolate cookie crust instead to really take this dessert into the “decadent” category.
