  1. I was not a huge fan of this. It was way to sweet for me. It is more like pumpkin pudding than pumpkin pie, really. My husband and colleagues liked it, though, which is why I'm giving it four stars.
     
  2. GREAT TASTING PIE- Syd. Made a little bit extra so I could make pudding too. Great recipe here and made recipe as posted. Will have to try again at Christmas. Made for PRMR tag.
     
  3. Dh is a butterscotch fiend so he loved this combination. So did I. I spooned it into wine goblets, layering it with the plain whipped cream and we had butterscotch-pumpkin pudding. Delicious. Only change I made was to use low fat versions of the dairy.
     
  4. Syd, this pie is amazing! I took a little liberty with the pie crust and used Recipe #3194, for the gingersnap crust. I thought gingersnap and pumpkin would be wonderful together. First of all, I have never whipped cream before and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to do--I just used the whisk attachment on my Kitchen Aid mixer, and whisked on high for a couple of minutes. The cream turned out perfect. I love the combination of flavors. The pumkin, butterscotch pudding and spices go perfectly together. Folding in the whipped cream makes it so light and fluffy. On top of the whipped cream, I added more crushed gingersnaps. This is a wonderful, lovely dessert that I will be making again. Thanks so much, Syd!
