Frugal Foodie Mama: Triple Spice Pumpkin Buttermilk Pie

This perfectly spiced & tangy Triple Spice Pumpkin Buttermilk Pie is about to replace your traditional pumpkin pie...

My friends at RawSpiceBar provided me with a complimentary one year subscription and are also providing an additional subscription as a giveaway prize. I was not compensated for this post in any other way. As always, all opinions expressed below are my own.

Alright, you all. I am ready to go all-out Thanksgiving on you guys this week. We are just a little over two weeks away from the big turkey day, and it is time to start planning out that dinner menu.

But wait... that's not all, folks! ;) If you scroll down towards the end of this post, you will find links to 24 more delicious recipes that are perfect for your Thanksgiving table.

Okay, so let's get back to this pie. In my July RawSpiceBar subscription packet, I received an amazing Triple Ice Cream Spices blend. It was intended to be added to a homemade strawberry ice cream, but I sort of tucked it away because I knew its blend of cinnamon, cardamom, and star anise would be perfect for fall desserts.

I have been wanting to make a pumpkin version of a classic buttermilk pie for a few months now (very Southern, you all), and then I remembered that Triple Ice Cream Spices blend and bingo! This delicious Triple Spice Pumpkin Buttermilk Pie was the end result.

This Triple Spice Pumpkin Buttermilk Pie is a definite step up from the traditional pumpkin pie, but it is just as easy to make if not easier. The buttermilk and the blend of cinnamon, cardamom, and star anise really makes this pie something amazing.

Trust me on this, folks- whether you are hosting Thanksgiving dinner or have been charged with bringing a dessert this year, this pie needs to be a part of your Thanksgiving game plan. ;)

Yield: 1 pie (8 servings)

How to bake Triple Spice Pumpkin Buttermilk Pie

Prepare your pie crust (if making homemade), fit into a 9 inch pie plate, and set aside in the fridge until ready to fill.
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, and brown sugar. Then slowly whisk in the buttermilk, melted butter, and pumpkin puree. Whisk in the vanilla and spices. Pour the filling into the chilled pie crust. Bake for 15 minutes.
Reduce the oven heat to 325 degrees, and cover the pie loosely with foil. Bake until the filling is set, about 35-40 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired.
Enjoy!
