My Thanksgiving Recipes - Pumpkin Cream Pie

Pumpkin Cream Pie

• This one is too easy and it is great for those guests who don't really care for the texture of custard, but really want the traditional Thanksgiving flavor.  Be sure to give this one a try.  It's too easy not to!  If you feel like this little recipe is just too far from scratch, feel free to make homemade whipped cream in place of the whipped topping.  You'll feel much more like Martha that way!
