Pepitas

Pumpkin Cream Pie with Chili Lime Pepitas

November 24, 2019 by Tamara Giebel Leave a Comment

A perfect twist on the traditional, this Pumpkin Cream Pie with Chili Lime Pepitas combines layers of pumpkin and whipped cream over a graham cracker crust.

Everyone brings traditional pumpkin pie to the Thanksgiving Day table….so why not turn some heads this holiday season with this Pumpkin Cream Pie with Chili Lime Pepitas? Graham cracker crust is the base for a spiced pumpkin pastry cream and lime-zested whipped cream. Topped with chili lime pepitas that add a little crunch and a little spice for some added excitement. And the best part is NO BAKING! Just throw that baby in the fridge for at least an hour and you are good to go! More room in the oven for all those yummy Thanksgiving side dishes.

Let’s talk a little about the pumpkin puree needed for this Pumpkin Cream Pie. You could make your own, but I ALWAYS use Libby’s because my mother always used Libby’s and well, it’s just really good. Make sure you are getting the Libby’s Pure Pumpkin Puree (not the Pumpkin Pie Filling).

Layers of creamy spiced pumpkin and lime zested whipped cream piled in a graham cracker crust and topped with chili-lime pepitas.
