I love pecan pie, Dear Reader. I mean, I adore it. I wish I could live on pecan pie, but I don’t know if my teeth and hips could stand such a diet.
Pumpkin pie, not so much. I like it enough, but I don’t love it.
Well, I love it when it’s mounded with 2 cups of Cool Whip, but then it sort of ceases to be pumpkin pie and is really just pumpkin-y whipped topping, so I don’t think that counts.
Anyway, when I started having my family’s Thanksgiving celebration at my house, I set out to find a great pumpkin pie recipe.
I didn’t find one at first, so I combined several. The result is amazing, truly.
This recipe is so good that you don’t need to do a trial run ahead of time, but you can if you want to experience the decadence twice. Enjoy!
| Gourmet Pumpkin Pie |
Ingredients
- 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie shell – your favorite recipe or a commercially pre-made one
- 3 2/3 cups pumpkin puree – fresh or canned will be fine
- 1 egg
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 tsp Pampered Chef Cinnamon Plus Spice Blend or pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Press the pie crust into a deep dish pie plate. This recipe makes a lot of filling, so a very large, deep pie plate is best.
- Blend the egg, pumpkin and condensed milk in a large bowl. In a small bowl, combine spices and add to pumpkin. Pour mixture into the unbaked pie shell.
- Combine the brown sugar, flour, chopped pecans, butter and cinnamon with a fork until crumbly. Carefully sprinkle crumb mixture on top of pumpkin.
- Bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until a knife inserted in near the center comes out clean.
- Cool before serving. Serve with whipped topping.

Mmmmmmm! I love pumpkin pie, not so much on the pecan. My husband dies for pecan pie, however. It’s all good, especially with the whipped cream!

You swear it’s good? I prefer pecan, too, and only eat pumpkin for the Cool Whip. If you tell me it’s worth the work, I’ll make it!
