Absolutely loved this pumpkin pie. It was very creamy and had the perfect amount of spices. I made my own crust and used a cheese pumpkin for this recipe. I modified it a little by using fresh ginger instead of the powder and added a teaspoon of vanilla. My husband and daughter said it was the best pumpkin pie they have ever had. I will definitely be making it again.

My feeling is, if you're gonna make a pie, it really is best done in a homemade pastry shell, & that's exactly what I did ~ A little more time-consuming, but well worth the effort! Thoroughly enjoyed your double cream combo here, along with more than just a pumpkin pie spice, & will be making this delicious pie again, for sure! Thanks for posting the recipe!
