I love pumpkin pie. This year for Thanksgiving, our dessert was ice cream cake to get in some belated birthday celebrations… they’re such sweet birthday boys, so I can’t begrudge them depriving me of my pumpkin pie (I guess).

Last night I made my first attempt at a traditional pumpkin pie. I’ve made some yummy pumpkin cheesecakes before, but after trying this, I think I’ll be replacing the cheesecakes with this. I also had some for breakfast this morning ;)

My pie turned out a little prettier than the one above but unfortunately, I did not get a picture ;)

Here is the recipe I used. I really think you should try it if you like pumpkin pie. It was super easy too.

1 can of pumpkin
2 eggs
1/2 c whipping cream
1 c brown sugar
1/2 c Red Racer Pumpkin Ale (I used Imperial Pumpkin Ale because that was all I could find, but the leftover beer I had to drink after was a bit bitter for my taste)
1 Tbs flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp allspice
2 frozen pie shells

Preheat oven to 350.

Whisk all ingredients together until smooth, then add to the shells.

Bake for 30 minutes and let cool.
