Pumpkin Chess Pie

Normally I am not one for desserts whether it be eating them or cooking them …. however, when I spotted this recipe in the Holiday Cottage 2013 issue of The Cottage Journal magazine I knew I had to give it a try and I’m certainly glad that I did. Although I do enjoy pumpkin pie during the holidays, at least to me it typically tastes like it just came out of a can of pumpkin filling and it seems too heavy and too solid. Well, this recipe provides you with a pumpkin pie that is light, almost fluffy, and it is very, very delicious.
