My favorite part about this pie? There’s no baking required; simply throw all of the ingredients into a blender and pour into a pie crust. It’s a little less firm than most pumpkin pies, but I think you’ll enjoy the creamy texture that’s a bit more unusual than most baked pies. I’d advise making the crust first to allow it to chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes while you prepare the pie filling; otherwise, the crust won’t hold as well. This smooth and spice-filled pie has become a staple for my family during the holidays, and soon it will be for yours, too!
