Thatās funny, but mince pies are small and very sweet and are delicious with custard or cream. At Christmas we have them as a dessert, sometimes with peaches and a small piece of Christmas pudding with cream or custard or even both. Very fattening though eaten like that.
Iāve never had pumpkin pie, is it sweet? Iāve actually got a huge whole pumpkin in the kitchen right now.
Hi Lee,
I personally think that pumpkin pie is a nice blend of sweet and spicy.
I donāt think that it tastes overly sweet.
You can taste a nice mix of the spices that are used in making it. You usually use at least ground cloves and ground cinnamon when making it, and you can usually taste the cloves in it, as it is quite a strong spice and a little bit of cloves can go a long way.
I love pumpkin desserts, and like to try making different ones.
I have a pumpkin ādump cakeā recipe that I would like to make sometime soon.
I have a pre-made frozen pumpkin pie that I will be making for us for Thanksgiving, though.
I wasnāt up to making a homemade pie, although I have made them.
This dump cake calls for a yellow boxed cake mix, and then some other ingredients that you mix together, and then some type of baking chipsāyour choice of either chocolate, butterscotch, white chips, or cinnamon, and of course some pumpkin puree.
