My thoughts: Again, pumpkin is not a flavor I enjoy– I did taste test this though, and went back for seconds! This was a HUGE hit both times I served it and I had so many people ask for the recipe I decided to post this earlier than intended so I don’t get mobbed. If you want to try a unique twist on the traditional pumpkin pie, this is it! Make a practice round before Thanksgiving and try it out on your friends– they will love you! ENJOY!!! r-
