I've used this recipe for 3 years now and it is always a big hit. Lighter pumpkin taste than the average pumpkin pie, but creamy and very yummy! Needs time to set up.
Pumpkin pie is my favorite and the one made from this recipe is the best I've ever had. I replace half of the cinammon with "pumpkin pie spice"... I've always done that and I have no idea if it's better or worse that way.
The only change I made was to put it in a graham cracker crust and less milk so that it didn't over flow. It was so good I am going to make the exact same pie for Thanksgiving. My picky 9 year old even liked it!
This is a very light and tasty pumpkin pie-a big hit with my family at Thanksgiving. In place of the milk though I used eggnog which gave it an extra nice taste.
Our family has always preferred the custard pumpkin pie vs. the regular pie. It has a very mild flavor with a nice creamy texture. We made it exactly like the recipe called for - it turned out perfect. Make sure to let it come to room temperature before slicing it.
I have been baking from scratch since I was a kid. (I'm 63 now) I learned from my Mom. With a couple modifications, this pumpkin custard pie really turned out excellent for me. As suggested by other reviewers, I omitted the 1/2c. milk. I found that I had to stir the pumpkin about 1/2 an hour over medium heat to get it to the desired consistency. A reviewer mentioned that theirs came out thin and soupy in the middle. I think that by cooking the pumpkin for 1/2 an hour on the stove, this problem is eliminated. I also baked my pie for 45 minutes, till the center was just slightly jiggly, and cooled the pie on a wire rack completely. The texture is phenomenal! I couldn't ask for better. I will definitely be making this recipe many, many more times. thank you Sara for this magnificent recipe. Yashu
nice texture and very tasty.. be sure to let it cool completely before cutting or it will be oozy...
This is EXCELLENT Pumpkin Custard Pie and it is gone as soon as it is cool enough to eat...LOL!
Wow! This was good! I even forgot the sugar the first time and it tasted fine anyway. Great recipe!
It tasted pretty much like regular pumpkin pie to me. I was hoping it'd be nice and light and fluffy but it wasn't. Maybe I didn't cook it on the stovetop long enough but I cooked it for a good 10 minutes. I'll try another recipe next time.
