Default Pumpkin Pie - Using Fresh Pumpkin Vs. Canned?

I like pumpkin pie to be the texture of a thick custard and quite spicy. I
don't care for bland pie with a soft and creamy consistency, and I don't
care for pumpkin chiffon pie, or in layers, such as with mincemeat, etc. I
just want a 'good' piece of pie with a big spoonful of real whipped cream
on top and none of that frozen whipped topping stuff!

I go to sisters yesterday. She made pumpkin pies, from pumpkin. Was not
rich, sweet, creamy. More texture, more flavors. Pretty good treat. Still
working on one brought home. Pumpkin pie seems hard to digest for me.

I grab dried flavored nut from dish at her place. Pumpkin seeds, would have
never guessed.

She said it was easy to make, and pumpkin went a long way.
Before the end of the night I'm going to the fridge and take a swig of
canned whipped cream.
