I was at my favorite local restaurant last night and I ordered the pumpkin cream pie. Now I need to find the recipe because it was the best pumpkin pie I had ever eaten. It consisted of a graham cracker crust, a layer that was very similar to basic pumpkin pie, a second layer that was a fluffier pumpkin and it was topped with a spiced whipped cream. If anyone has a recipe like this, I would be very appreciative. I searched all morning and the only things I could find were either regular pumpkin pies or two layer pies with a cheescake type layer and neither of those are what I’m looking for.

Thanks but I already tried that and I couldn’t find what I was looking for.

There several pumpkin cream pie recipes on that page.

You aren’t looking for a pumpkin cream pie recipe?

Anyway…the only difference between a regular and cream pumpkin pie is the addition of vanilla pudding into the recipe.
