Looking for a little twist on your traditional Pumpkin Pie recipe? Here’s my blue ribbon winning recipe that everyone is crazy about! Even non-pumpkin pie eaters love it! {Dreamy High} Pumpkin Pie is exactly that…Dreamy! Fluffy pumpkin mousse is topped with creamy whipped cream and crunchy toasted coconut. The perfect ending to your Thanksgiving dinner!

{Dreamy High} Pumpkin Pie

 

This recipe came from my former husbands family. His aunt used to make it every year and holds dear memories for the whole family. This one’s for you Aunt L and Uncle B!

I’ve always loved Pumpkin Pie but when I was introduced to this recipe, traditional Pumpkin Pie has never made it back into my baking repertoire. I’ve even entered it into a baking contest. A local orchard was holding an anything pumpkin bake-off and I knew this amazing recipe needed to be entered into the contest! It won 1st place!

My kids are totally loving that they’re getting Thanksgiving all month long this year with the extra recipes being made for the blog! Make sure you check back on Thursday for my Sweet Potato Casserole recipe!

    This is definitely one of everybody’s favorites here. We all look forward to you making it. I was also impressed with the “flakiness” of your crust . I remember when it won the first prize at Keown’s apple orchard here in town.
    It is so especially nice that this” Family table treasure” came from an aunt no longer here but always remembered whenever we have this special treat.

    I made this and brought it to a family Thanksgiving. It was loved by all even those that said they don’t usually like pumpkin pie. It is light and fluffy and the coconut was a perfect finish! Thanks so much for this recipe!
