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. :)

This is so yummy. I could eat a million infinity five hundred and could eat the whole pie twice a day! I measured everything. I whisked(electric whisk)it(the cool whip mixture) and put it in the pie shell all by myself. I wisked the pumpkin part too but had help putting it on the white creamy part. Thank you Chef! UPDATE: I made this for my family for Thanksgiving and used fresh pumpkin - it did not hold together well.... and I will stick with the can next time.... still yummy!

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.

Great Pie everyone loved it. Very easy to make. I did make Tigerlilly #2 crust with the graham crackers and Pecans. WOW. Used French Vanilla pudding and mixed the pudding first then the pumpkin and increased the spices a little.(personal preference) This is a keeper. Will make again.

Delicious! I've been wanting to try this recipe for quite some time now and I'm so glad I did. What a yummy, creamy dessert! I used pumpkin pie spice instead of the spices listed but besides that I followed the recipe exactly. This is a very rich pie, sure to compliment your Thanksgiving meal. Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe! Kristen
