I’ve been busy… really REALLY busy. Did I mention how busy I’ve been? Over the span of the last few weeks, we’ve had an injured finger that’s has required a month of physical therapy, days later the hubby fell and broke a finger, not to mention the flu hit our household! {I’ve been spared so far!}…..but I digress. This is about PIES and GIVEAWAYS!!!
My life as a mom is usually busy, as most are, and Pillsbury makes my life SO much easier with their refrigerated pie crust! I’ve used it for years! No, they’re not paying me to write this (although they are sponsoring a giveaway……but more on that in a minute). If you read many of my recipe posts, you know I like easy….that’s why I love the Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust. No mixing, no rolling…..well you do have to UNroll the pie crust from the packing, but you can do that with your hands, no rolling pin needed! You just place the crust in your pie plate and following the easy instructions on the box according to what kind of pie you are making!! It’s THAT easy! and the BEST part……it tastes like home made!! {I won’t tell, if you won’t tell!}
Today we are celebrating PIE!
“Love the Pie”
Link up your favorite Pie recipe and I have some great giveaways as well!!
In honor of Thanksgiving, I’m going to share my favorite Pumpkin Pie recipe!
This is not your ordinary pumpkin pie, this is heaven in the form of a fluffy, soft, scrumptious, cold creamy pumpkin pie !
This is a recipe given to me by my grandpa years ago, you can read my post about it last year by clicking here
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Walnuts
- 2 Pie Shells
- 1 envelope Unflavored Gelatin
- 1/4 Cup cold Water
- 1 30 oz can Pumpkin Pie Mix (not solid pumpkin)
- 2 T Sugar
- 1 small can Evaporated Milk
- 3 Eggs *(you will use 2 yolks, and 3 whites)
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla
- 1 container of Cool Whip
Instructions
- Chop walnuts fine.
- Bake pie shells and cool.(I use the Pillsbury Refrigerator Pie Crust)
- Soften gelatin in water in sauce pan.
- Stir in Pumpkin Pie Mix, 2 egg yolks and milk.
- Heat until boiling. Stir constantly.
- Reduce to low heat stirring constantly for another 5 mins.
- Remove from heat, add vanilla and cool and chill until thick. (I usually do up to this point the night before, and refrigerate the filling and egg whites overnight- but I would think a few hours would be fine if you want to do it the same day)
- Beat 3 egg whites to soft peaks adding 2 Tablespoons of sugar one at a time until still.
- Fold into pumpkin mix.
- Fold in 3/4 of your walnuts.
- 1/2 of your pumpkin filling into the 2 pie crusts, 1/2 of Cool Whip on top of filling in each crust and spread with spatula, remaining 1/2 of pumpkin filling in each crust, spread with spatula. Dollop several spoonfuls of remaining Cool Whip on top of each pie, then take a knife and swirl them slightly into the filling.
- Sprinkle with remaining Walnuts.
- Chill until ready to serve.

Your pie looks incredible!! Beautiful and yummy. I didn't get a pie made for a post *cry*. I did make cookies for the boys' school though and they're on my blog so you can take a little peek if you'd like.
Ok, this isn't my favorite pie and it's far from gourmet but it's PERFECT for a super quick pie needed for an event,etc. Just take one of those Pillsbury crusts you talk about OR a graham cracker crust. For the filling simply mix a 8 oz package of softened cream cheese, a tub of cool whip, 1/2 cup sugar, and a teaspoon vanilla. That's it! Chill and slice. SO EASY.
Fun party, thank you so much for hosting it!
