Reviews
First time making so I didn’t adjust the recipe. Hopefully it’ll turn out good and I won’t need too.
Highly recommend! Husband said it’s the best pumpkin pie he’s ever had. Had to bake considerably longer, but was worth the wait! Will be making again!
This was so good. It so was creamy we didn’t need to add whipped cream on top.
My husband made this pie for Thanksgiving and I’m so glad to find this recipe last minute because we have Ricotta instead of Cream Cheese. I’m not a big pumpkin fan but I love this pie! In the deep dish it took over an hour to bake. We followed the instructions except we added a few extra ounces of cheese and pumpkin since the shell is deeper.
Delicious! Super creamy and not too sweet
