Looks delicious. How many fudges do you think the pilgrims had to kill to make one for their Thanksgiving dinner?

I couldn't begin to eat anything as rich as this pie must be! The older I get, the fewer rich foods I can tolerate.

linelle, if I lived in another state, the vodka would be cheaper, but here in Michigan it's taxed like crazy. I've been known to bring a bottle back from Chicago, but that's illegal. Ahem. Here a pint is $11 and that's for the cheap Popov stuff. Another poster said you had to have good vodka, that affected the taste, so that ups the price. And I'd rather die of whatever ailment than to ever drink vodka, LOL, although I did spring $22 and buy a bottle to make Lemoncello. We drank a little of it mixed with cranberry juice and I ended up dumping most of it out after about 14 months in my refrigerator, I'm told THAT won't last forever. Hey, I wonder how lemoncello would work in pie crust, for a lemon meringue pie. Hmmmm..... Annie

It's the morning after, and I am thankful for all you good people who took the time to post and get me through a bad moment. I learned from your posts, and I laughed with your posts. Most importantly, I found out that even on a cooking forum, not everyone makes the perfect, flaky, homemade pie crust. Thank you for telling me that I am not alone. I am through with pies and pie crusts. This year will have been the 20th year of trying, and it was the worst yet. It is time to move on. I am a market gardener, and I grow wonderful organic strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and rhubarb. When I bake with the fruit, I do a crisp, a cobbler, or a tart. DS has a love of pumpkin pie, and I think my efforts are emotionally entwined with being the "good mother", but I am going to find a good bakery next year. You are all right- there is more than one way to skin a cat (that is a horrible saying isn't it?) I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. You all helped make mine a good one. :)

Yes! That's almost exactly the way mine looks. Mine is a little worse, I think, because I used the deep dish crust. That made it have a little further to drop in the center. It tasted pretty darn good, but it definitely needs a Cool Whip cover if it's going to be served to company.

I think that's a great plan for both of you! He will enjoy a home-cooked meal and you'll get to practice your fantastic cooking skills on someone who will appreciate it. That menu sounds soooo good! Now if you'll just add a chocolate pie, it will be perfect! Wish I could join you!

After seeing "The Help", I don't think I could eat a fudge pie. It also would be way too rich for me. Today I had a piece of pumpkin pie and a 1/2 piece of strawberry-rhubarb.

I was just bringing up a fond memory of the Thanksgiving when so many KT'er served it for the occasion :o)

We all eat rich food from time to time.

Fond memory that's all!

No fudge pie, but Glenda, I have the pumpkin cream pie that you linked us to in the fridge -- still waiting for me to cut into it! (I ate dinner after 6 tonite). Instead of doing the "mini" servings, I just used a regular graham-cracker pie crust. I have a feeling it'll be a midnite snack!

Well, Glenda, I couldn't wait until midnite. The pumpkin cream pie is delicious! Thanks for linking us to the recipe.

My grandson surprised me with a late Thanksgiving visit, and he ate TWO of the pumpkin individual pie custards, and two gingersnap ice cream sandwiches PLUS remainder of my low boil.

That's a teenager with a non ending appetite :o)

I did, Glenda. I made two and there was 2 slices left, my brother in law wrapped and took them home. I think it was a hit! My brother in law request this pie every year. I don't know why my sister will not bake it for him. LOL. I also made your onion casserole that you posted a couple years back when I mostly lurked. :) I also made a cabbage casserole that I believe came from you, but I am not sure as it was hand printed. Must have been when I had printer problems. I keep your recipes and other KTer's recipe in a big notebook and keep them by themselves.

Evidently my relatives failed to see the movie "The Help" because they gobbled up my fudge pie faster than a turkey on a bug. Either that or they saw "The Help" and they, oh never mind! (snort)

OK, now I'm looking for the pumpkin cream pie recipe, and can't find it through the search. Anyone have it handy?

Phyllis, here it is.
I cooked mine in individual ramekins and filled each one with 3/4 cup of the custard and it only made 6.
Next time I won't cook as long I did cook mine the full length and shoulda taken out when I put the knife in the first time. Should have taken out at 45 minutes instead of 50.

Pumpkin pie without the crust and my grandson ate the last two this afternoon topped with vanilla ice cream.

Individual Pumpkin custard
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 large eggs
1 can (15 ounces) 100% Pure Pumpkin
1 can (12 fluid ounces) Evaporated Milk
Directions
PREHEAT oven to 300 F.

MIX sugar, cinnamon, ginger, salt and cloves in small bowl. Beat eggs in large bowl. Stir in pumpkin and sugar-spice mixture. Gradually stir in evaporated milk. If desired, cover and freeze filling for up to one month. When ready to bake, simply defrost, mix well and proceed with recipe.

POUR into eight 6-ounce ramekins or custard cups. Place ramekins on baking sheet.

BAKE for 45 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted in custard halfway between center and edge of ramekin comes out almost clean. Cool on wire rack for 2 hours. Serve immediately or refrigerate. Top with dollop of light whipped cream, if desired.

***Served mine at room temperature

Wow-the pumpkin could be frozen in individual containers and taken out as needed! I watched and read the Help and I would eat the pie!! Looks good! Maybe would heat it and put a dollop of ice cream on top!

I did freeze the two remaining ones, and thawed them out when I found my grandson was coming today to watch football game.

Thanks, Glenda....the use of ramekins sounds great.
