I really liked the light quality of the pie but found the final result a little too gooey and unformed. It's possible that I didn't do one of the steps right, for instance beat the yolks long enough or cook long enough until thickened. I think next time I will skip folding the egg whites into the pumpkin mixture in order to make the texture a little more solid and easy to cut. I also used a graham cracker crust which went well with the other flavors. Overall a great recipe.

This is pretty good, but it isn't really anything like a pumpkin pie. It has the flavor of one, but the texture is completely different. It's layered and really light and fluffy. If you're looking for a traditional pumpkin pie recipe, this isn't it... but it is very good for what it is.

This pie has been a tradition with our family for Thanksgiving for the past 40 years. It's the greatest pie!

Really good flavor and texture, but my family and I still prefer the original. This is a perfect recipe for people who don't want the same 'ol, same 'ol. I guess we're just old fashioned.

This is without a doubt the best pumpkin pie I have ever made-and I have tried just about all of them after over thirty years of baking!! It is not the quickest to do-but is worth the extra half an hour or so in extra time-and is easily done in a few stages. My family says it is 'authentic pumpkin pie taste without the heaviness.' Absolutely try this-if you want certain success with everyone who tastes it. Incredibly impressive and very different from the 'run-of-the-mill' off the-back-of-the-can pumpkin pie recipe! YUM!

I made this for a dinner party and everyone cleaned their plates. It is really light - great if you like the taste of pumpkin but not the heavy custard texture of traditional pumpkin pie.
