No Pie Sweet Pumpkin Pie
Print is recipe
Yes you guessed it. It is the classic American pumpkin pie without the crust. The texture of this wonderful American invention is souffle like and mouth watering. Who needs pie crust anyway. I have since learned that most often the pie crust comes out soggy – So is not only healthier for you, gluten free but also tastes amazing…
I have always wanted to try pumpkin pie, but often veered away because all the recipes i found – all use pumpkin puree from a can. Well you can do this from scratch if you want to, but when you need to whip up something for those winter nights, everything but the eggs could be found in your pantry cupboard… win win.! so please enjoy this super tasty dessert it has become a family favorite to rival apple pie.
