In keeping with all things pumpkin… I’ve got a simple, classic Pumpkin Pie recipe that you will love!! And it has homemade whipped cream to boot.
Yes, I have been sharing lots of pumpkin recipes lately. If you don’t love pumpkin, I’ve been there. I grew to love it over the years. I have plenty of other dessert recipes to make! But for those that do, this is for you. It screams fall to me…
Nothing could be better than fresh pumpkin pie out of the oven except maybe fresh pumpkin pie with homemade whipped cream. Right? Mmmmmmm…
I think a lot of people get intimidated by both recipes but really, they are simple. And taste so much better than store bought. It’s worth the extra bit of time that it takes to make.
