To everyone’s surprise — mine included — I made a pumpkin pie this year. Sometimes we have to give the people what they want. There’s no classic, all-butter, flaky pie crust here (save that for the warm, fruit-filled pies). Instead, I’m using crushed gingersnap cookies which always made more sense to me in a custard-filled pie. I gives you three great textures: the creamy-custardy filling, the crunchy cookie crust, and that spot where they meet in the middle and meld together that’s just *chef’s kiss*.
PSA ANNOUNCEMENT: Please forgive me– In this video I messed up the crust (added too much butter) and didn’t let it chill properly so my ending shots of the pie are a MESS. If you follow the recipe as-written, you will not have this problem, I promise. These videos are filmed in real time, no food stylists and sometimes I fly too close to the sun and don’t pay attention to my own recipes (still tasted great but sadly unslice-able).
For more Thanksgiving (stuffing, two ways! A simple cranberry sauce! Fluffy potatoes! A kale salad, because I said so!) watch the rest of this year’s Thanksgiving special here:
