I made this last night to bring to Thanksgiving dinner today. To my dismay, there were THREE regular pumpkin pies already there so I assumed mine would not really get eaten. Well...guess who's pie was gone at the end of the day?? This was so delicious and simple. My son loved it as well as everyone else who had a piece. Also, this could easily have made 2 pies. Just FYI for anyone reading this review. :)

As far as double layer pumpkin pies, this is a good recipe, but for me it just tastes too "instant" I guess that is the best way to explain it.

This pie was delicious! While it is an "instant" pie so to speak, it certainly didn't taste like one. The only change I would make is in the directions - use a fork, not a whisk. Too hard to get the good stuff out of the whisk, LOL! Don't change a thing, the pie is perfect just as written.
