Creamy Pumpkin Pie

“This is my grandmothers pie recipe and is excellent for fresh pumpkin. I cut my pumpkins and bake them for an hour or so depending on the size of the pumpkin and them mash them through an old colander that has a pestle with it. Also passed down from my grandmother. I freeze 4 cups of processed pumpkin so that I always have the exact amount of pumpkin I need for a pie.”

Very nice pie! I used a tip from "Cindy's Pumpkin Pie" and used melted vanilla ice cream instead of the condensed milk, as it's hard to get where I live. It made too much for my only shallow pie dish, so I'm trying to find a way to make mini pies with the left overs. Served it for Thanksgiving dinner, and it got rave reviews from all - some said it was way better than any store-bought pie they'd tried! :-)

My daughter and I make this for Thankgiving. The recipe could not have been easier. We followed it exactly but added 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and canned pumkin. The pie was light and fluffy and delicious. We will use this pumpkin pie recipe from now on.

This is a good basic pumpkin pie recipe. I also cut down the amount of pumpkin to two cups because I wasn't using my big glass pie pan. If I were, I might leave it at 4 and see what happens! Thanks for the recipe.

This was the first time I had attempted pumpkin pie. I used fresh pumpkin baked whole and pureed. I did use suggestion of double spices and found filling just right for one pie. My family loved it including a VERY picky 3 year old. I will definatley be using this receipe again.

I wasn't sure that it would work with just two eggs, but I guess that's why the title says "creamy"; the texture turned out less dense than your normal, store-bought pie. I forgot the ginger and I used whole milk and powdered sugar instead of the condensed milk. My husband claims it is the best pie I have ever made.

I read most of the reviews before I made this pie. (Had some pumpikns left over from halloween) I followed the directions EXACTLY. I don't know what anyone was complaining about. I used the 4 cups and it made 1 deep dish pie. Let me repeat ONE deep dish pie. This was the first pumpkin pie I ever made and let me tell you if I could kiss you I would it was that darn good. I have added it to my list of holiday pies. I don't think I can live without it now that I have tasted it.
