Question about homemade pumpkin pie.

house_cat — Fri, 17 Nov 2023 14:35:32 GMT

Will I compromise the taste or texture if I bake a pumpkin pie a day ahead and refridgerate it?

Not in my experience.

I don't think it will be a problem. I'd eat it!

No, pumpkin pie should always be made the day before. It is not a pie that is served warm like apple and tastes better when served cold.

I always make my pumpkin pies the day before I serve them.

Thanks, everyone! I'm having company tomorrow and my toddler granddaughter will be here with me, so I'm trying to do everything possible ahead of time.

I would say no. The ladies in my family all bring pies, some are pumpkin (we end up with a lot of pie!). I'm sure the pumpkins are baked and refrigerated the day before.

You'll be fine. You might get a very small amount of moisture collected on the top, but no one will know when the whipped cream covers it up. I'm buying my pie at Costco this year, picking it up Wednesday morning.

That's how I always do it. I've never had any complaints. Too many other things to do the day of.

No. It will be fine. I bake all my pies the day before Thanksgiving.

Custard pies always taste better when they've had a day to set and get cold, in my opinion.

The best PP recipe is on the Eagle Brand can. It makes one 9" pie and is so easy. Try it.

On TG Hubbs will not eat squash,pumpkin or cranberries. So no PP at our house.

If you decide to try this do not mistake canned milk for Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed. I had a friend do that once-she wanted to make that great fudge. Of course, didn't turn out right.

I read a pumpkin pie hint somewhere years ago and now always, always do it.

Add all your spices and sugars to the can of pumpkin puree. Mix well

Do NOT add the eggs or Evaporated milk yet.

Roast it in a shallow pan 375 deg for about 20 mins.

After it cools, then add eggs/milk and bake as usual.

It adds SO much depth to the flavor of the pumpkin!!!

@RespectLife

That sounds like a good tip and I'll make a note of it on my recipe. It's too late for this. year since the pie is already in my fridge.

@house_cat Your pies will be fine! I always bake my pumpkin pies the evening before and let them set out.......no refrigeration. I wouldn't have room for 4 pies in my refrigerator . Been doing this for years. No one has died yet! I hope you have a Blessed Thanksgiving..........and to all posters, too!!
