This pie is the reason my pumpkinpalooza fell flat on its face. My “keep it simple, don’t change anything” husband rebelled at the thought of frozen pumpkin pie. I should have called it something else like “frozen autumn pie” or maybe “it’s too hot to cook and yes it’s pumpkin in July pie.” But I was foolish. I called it pumpkin and as a result, everything hit the fan.
I really wanted an option for folks celebrating Thanksgiving in warmer climates like, say, Florida. It’s a balmy 65 degrees outside while I am writing this, but the weather man is calling for 70+ degree weather on Thanksgiving. Now, in comparison to 95+degree summers, that’s cool, but a little frozen treat wouldn’t be bad.
