I'm the only one in this house who likes pumpkin pie so not worth making a pie just for me this fall. Instead I made some pumpkin pie cream cheese (Budget Bytes recipe!) to put on my breakfast bagels on the runup to Thanksgiving. Yum!
@SnarkyLamassu I tried to introduce my brit-born friends to pumpkin pie and they were CRAZY SUSPICIOUS. Loved it one and all once they tried it but I made it two years running before anyone plucked up the courage. I guess it doesn't really look like pie, and it is kind of ... like, orange. 🤔
@Vicorva It does have a weird spongy texture XD My other half finds pumpkin pie spices too strong, but I know the color of it didn't help 😅
@SnarkyLamassu what's the pumpkin cream cheese like?
@Vicorva tastes like a pumpkin cheesecake! Here's the recipe: https://www.budgetbytes.com/2010/10/pumpkin-cream-cheese-spread/

@SnarkyLamassu oh my god. That looks dangerously easy.
@Vicorva Too easy; I'm already like "hmm, I'll probably use up this first bowl today; I'll make more tonight!"
@SnarkyLamassu This is gonna be like when I discovered carnation microwave fudge eg a delicious disaster
@Vicorva And oh no, no one but us likes pumpkin pie so we'll have to eat it all by ourselvesss. Darn!
