really liked this. I did use one teaspoon of sugar and still had plenty of room for improvement. I added more pumpkin, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of semisweet chocolate chips, 1/4 cup of fresh cranberries and 1/4 cup of white chocolate chips, and baked in an 8"X8" pan. Because I was serving 6, I put the chips on top of a 9"X8" pan, then poured the batter over the top. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough brown sugar to complete the recipe, so I ended up adding 2 extra cups of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of unsalted butter and 1/4 cup of unsalted milk. This yielded a total of 4 cups, which I used to frost the top. This was a very moist pumpkin pie, but it wasn't overly sweet. I would make it again
So this is the end result of my "go to" pumpkin pie recipe from this site. I made every recipe in the "go to" recipe, except this one, which I actually baked (went a little to brown sugar and spices) and it was absolutely horrid. I even then, I had to make another potluck the next day to have the pie for dessert... but that was my fault, because I didn't follow the recipe, and it was completely dry. I will however, make it again, because I really like the flavors, and simple yet tasty, and this is one of the better pies I have had. Thank you for the recipe, and I will try it over again!
