This recipe is super easy, delicious and will make you a master when the season calls. Fall usually is the beginning where my sensation for all things pumpkin begins to form. It becomes even more of a desire throughout the holiday season but keeps strong until Spring. Truly, I can eat pumpkin pie at any given time- don’t tempt me ;).
For this pumpkin pie recipe, you most likely will have all the seasonings already in your kitchen and for this recipe you will need either canned pumpkin purée or fresh. I used fresh pumpkin purée as in Luxembourg you cannot find it in a can anywhere!
In all honesty, making fresh pumpkin puree was easy & of course, it’s a more fresh alternative. Just boiled cubed/seeded/skinned pumpkin and then blend 🙂
