This time of year I make one every 3wks or so. I buy the "extra creamy"
Cool Whip but when I run out I have been known to simply pour a little cream on top of a slice. I have tried the off brands and found coloration differences in the pumpkin plus noticed a difference in the metal quality of the can when opening it-lots of "peelings" from the metal for cheaper brands. I definitely prefer to buy Libby's. I like the pie well-baked with lots of fine cracks on top-I rarely like someone else's pumpkin pie, between the spice variations and the underbaked mushy centers-some people's look like what's in baby's diaper... Our SuperWalmart this year I noticed had superior pumpkins for Halloween-they were perfectly shaped and all were a uniform size which left me wondering about how they were farmed. Ever since substituting chinese 5-spice powder in a pie I have been using it ever since. Best layered recipe-stunningly beautiful when sliced-is pie crust (I use springform pan to achieve higher sides), thin layer of chopped black walnuts pressed down slightly into crust, plain white cheesecake batter (I leave out the raisins the recipe called for) spooned over the nuts, then the lighter weight normal pumpkin pie batter is gently layered over the cheesecake batter. Baked and cooled. Top with a whip cream layer-using back of spoon to lift into peaks, and then dust the top with black walnut dust. Next time I want to experiment with the bottom nut layer and add either just a few choc chips or caramel chips to it. Smuckers squirt bottle of caramel ice cream topping might also be used to decorate the top. |
