Mile High Pumpkin Cream Pie
This pumpkin cream pie has changed the way I look at pumpkin pie. Plain old pumpkin pie is dull and boring and has the most lack-luster texture a pie can have. I make a face every time I eat it.
Let me digress a moment to tell you a story. Once, when we were visiting the giraffes at the zoo, we paid $1 to feed a cracker to the giraffe. My son was 5 or 6 at the time and did not realize what the cracker was for, so instead of feeding the cracker to the giraffe, he ate it. He ate it like he was eating cardboard. Bits of of stiff cracker crumbs were tumbling out of his mouth. The corners of his mouth were turned down and the cracker was rapidly forming a brown, paste that was filling up my son’s small mouth. My son’s eyes were open big and wide and tears were swellling in them. The look of horror and disgust he had on his face is nearly the face I make every time I eat pumpkin pie.
Ok, slight exaggeration, but I am not a fan of pumpkin pie. When it comes to pumpkin, I’d rather eat desserts like the best pumpkin roll recipe ever (the coconut filling is A-mazing), pumpkin ice cream pie, this cookie based snickerdoodle pumpkin pie, fudgy pumpkin brookies, or pumpkin cheesecake brownie pie. THOSE are the pumpkin desserts I prefer to eat.
