Pumpkin makes the perfect pie for the fall and holidays.
Most traditional pumpkin pies are baked. I love a good traditional pumpkin pie, but I also enjoy pies that are a little more unique and unusual like this pumpkin cream pie.
What I found in pumpkin cream pie is the perfect combination of traditional and unique. It has the great flavor of a baked pumpkin pie, but it is more of a pudding pie, which makes it less traditional.
This pie is light and creamy and has the perfect texture. Not only that this pie is so easy. Even someone that is a non baker could make quite an impression with this pie.

Sophia has been obsessed with pies lately. Every time we go to the grocery store she wants to get stuff to make a pie or just buy a pre-made pie…if she sees this, I’ll probably be making it on a weekly basis 😀
Looks super delicious, Thanks for sharing the recipe!
I must try this recipe! Thanks!
looks like a good alternative to normal pumpkin pie!
This looks so yummy and I bet it would work great with a milk substitute. Thanks for linking up.
this looks great! I’m always looking for ways to change things up!

I made this last night, but I made individual pies in a muffin tin. They were fanastic! I love pumpkin in all forms, but this pie is definitely one of my favorites!
