Short but sweet post today. TWD recipe is Caramel Pumpkin Pie and was chosen by Janelle of Mortensen Family Memoirs. Pumpkin Pie is not big in NZ and I think this is only the second time I have made it. I thought this pie was ok. I didn’t really love the highly caramelised flavour of the pie. I prefer my caramel to be on the sweeter, creamier side rather than the highly sugared almost burnt caramel flavour. I halved the recipe and made two mini pies, and cooked the rest of the pie filling in a small ramekin for my gluten free mum who was up staying over the weekend. Mum hadn’t tried pumpkin pie before and loved it. See if the other TWDers enjoyed it here.

The rum and burnt caramel flavor make me a bit nervous. I'll let you know!
That piece looks so good with the whipped cream on top!
I love that photo. It definitely makes me want to have some.
Yours looks great. Mine did not turn out so well.
What a nice treat for your mother! Looks pretty tasty to me!
I didn't love the caramel flavour either, but then I totally over-spiced mine. That pic is great--looks like you interrupted a very hungry (and lucky) person!
I also thought the caramel was a bit strong--but I still ate and enjoyed it!
I agree with you about the flavor. The caramel was too bitter. This pie won't be replacing my favorite one.
Your pie looks delicious! At least you got to try a different flavour.
Looks beautiful.
glad your mum loved her first taste of pumpkin pie filling!
nice "action shot" of the pie - mid-bite i suppose? lol
Yep. The caramel is over-powering. That's why I had to make mine twice! I couldn't not like my own pick! The second time with the lighter caramel was WAAAY better.
Thanks for baking along with me!
Funny, I couldn't taste the caramel. It just enhanced the pumpkin flavor.
Looks delicious.
