These sound yummy. Have you tried making with less sugar. Just wondering if I could cut it and still save the consistency.

I am thinking of doing this instead of a pie. Isn't the pumpkin purée different from regular canned pumpkin?

@chips Yes it is, I could not find it locally anywhere so I ended up ordering from Amazon!

I use canned pumpkin in recipes calling for puree
