pumpkin pie

Pumpkin pie is a classic dessert made from a smooth, spiced pumpkin filling baked in a pastry crust. The filling typically includes pureed pumpkin, sugar, eggs, and warming spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, which give it a cozy flavor. Once baked, it develops a firm, custard-like texture. Often served chilled or at room temperature, pumpkin pie is popular during fall and holiday seasons, especially Thanksgiving. Its rich, aromatic profile balances sweetness and spice, making it a comforting and versatile dessert enjoyed by many.
