Stress-Free Thanksgiving Series: Fresh Pumpkin Pie

We just posted the Convenient Pumpkin Pie the other day, then we made the Basic Flaky Pastry Pie and learned how to make Pumpkin Puree from a whole pumpkin, this post will be another version of Pumpkin Pie. I wanted a different option from using canned sweetened condensed milk, so this one will have heavy cream, then sweetened with brown sugar and granulated sugar.

There’s something about making this pumpkin pie from start to finish (with the exception of growing the pumpkin) that makes it so good! This pie is bursting with flavour, it’s rich, smooth, thick, and tastes incredible especially with the homemade pie crust and homemade pureed pumpkin. If you have time to make this one, do it! This Pumpkin Pie is a Thanksgiving classic, and it is just as essential to a Thanksgiving Dinner as the turkey!
