We have so many wonderful memories of family Thanksgivings out at the farm complete with lots of pies,
and lots of cousins eating pie. 🙂
I make a double layer pumpkin pie, which has become a staple in our home during the holiday season. I found it in a magazine many years ago, and my family requests it every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings.
The ingredients are simple.
It is no-bake and fun to make with kids.
The cream cheese layer: decadent and delightful.
And the pumpkin mouse on top: cool and refreshing.
Holiday pie perfection!
