Variations of the Pumpkin Custard Pie

• If you’re a fan of cinnamon, sprinkle some into a bowl of whipped topping, and then add a dollop of the topping to each slice of this delicious pie.
• You can drizzle your favorite brand of caramel syrup over the pie for an added touch. If you’re not a fan of caramel, prepare a homemade glaze to drizzle over the pie by combining a vanilla extract with powdered sugar and heavy cream.
• Add a chocolate touch to your pie with a few mini white chocolate chip morsels. Wait until your pie has cooled down completely before tossing them on top to keep them from melting. The white chocolate goes great with the pumpkin flavor.

Pumpkin Pie Custard Notes

• Use a food processor to combine the ingredients for your crust. If you don’t have a food processor, you can use a blender to combine these ingredients at a faster pace than you would when mixing by hand.
• Make sure to preheat your oven while the crust dough is chilling. It will save you more time in the long run while helping you prepare the perfect crust.
• Don’t remove your pie immediately after the cooking time. Instead, turn the oven off, crack the door open, and allow it to sit for an additional 20+ minutes.
