AMAZING!!!! No crack! I admit...I watched the video and then had to try this pie for Thanksgiving. Although I used a store bought deep dish pie shell....this filling was incredible. Easy and delicious! I too agree that the extra egg yolks made this very rich and creamy. Some pumpkin pies have a bit of a grainy texture....Not this pie, rich, creamy and smooth! I did omit the Chinese 5 spice since I had non on hand....I dont really think it mattered....it was perfectly spiced for us. My family love this pie....it will be my goto pumpkin pie from now on....never again with the evaported milk....its all about the sweetened condensed and the extra yolks. Perfection! Thanks!

Perfect pumpkin pie. This is deceptively simple, with relatively few ingredients. It will be my go-to recipe from here on out. I used Pillsbury ready to use pie crust because I didn't have time to make up my own. I also didn't have Chinese five spice, so I just replaced with a scant 1/8tsp of ground cloves. Rich, creamy, perfect balance of pumpkin and spice. Thank you Chef John!

A friend brought this pie to our Thanksgiving dinner today. I was skeptical about anything that differed from the traditional pumpkin pie recipe that I have been making for decades. Was I wrong! I love the texture of this pie, and it is not too sweet. It's the only pumpkin pie I'll make from now on - thanks, Chef John (and thanks to my friend Sue for bringing this great pie to our Thanksgiving celebration.)

True story. This pie did not crack, looked amazing, and tasted delicious, will definitely become my "go to" pumpkin pie recipe. I skipped the 5-spice powder because we didn't have any.
