      I just made this for Thanksgiving and it was the most delicious pumpkin pie I have ever had. I DO NOT like pumpkin pie but wanted to give it a try. It was everyone's favorite. It was also very simple to make. I will have to make two next year! Thank you for your recipes.

      We made this for Thanksgiving and we loved it. I decided we needed to add the pie pumpkins to our garden next year. Some of our family are lactose intolerant, I wasn’t sure what to use to replace the heavy cream, so they had to pass on trying it. We usually use non-dairy creamer or lactose free milk in recipes, but I wasn’t sure if either of those would change the consistency of the pie filling. So, I would love to hear if anyone else has had success with other options.

        So happy you loved the pumpkin pie recipe! You can change the heavy cream, and it should work. You can also try coconut cream!

      This pie tastes like fall. I never understood why people like pumpkin pie. I have always found it to be inferior to every other pie, until I tasted Elenas pumpkin pie. This pie converted me. Using fresh pumpkin is an absolute game changer. You will never want to go back to canned purées again.
