Super smooth pumpkin pie with a shortbread crust!
Okay friends, you’re going to have to excuse the lack of picture on this post, as well as my last post. I accidentally deleted several files and etc from my computer ( what the hell was I thinking?!) Anyways, there is a video to go along with this recipe, so you are in luck!!
I know what you’re thinking…. ” pumpkin pie?!…. Everyone is posting pumpkin pie #girlbye ” ! But I promise you that this isn’t your everyday pumpkin pie. As I had stated in the past, I wasn’t a big pumpkin pie fan. I’ve tried a lot of pumpkin pies, but none of them lived up to my expectations. A lot of the pies had way too many spices. Some pies weren’t sweet enough, and others were just boring as heck!!!
My pumpkin pie actually mimics a sweet potato pie. In my opinion ( and everyone else that I serve this pie to), it is the best damn pumpkin pie out there baby!!!!! It has just the right amount of spices, sugar, and it has a shortbread cookie crust!
Give it a try!
