Derrick’s Ultimate Smoked Pumpkin Pie Recipe
I first developed this recipe in 2013, by smoking pumpkins and using the pureed flesh as the filling for the pies. It was a huge hit. Not only did it provide a mild smokiness to this popular holiday dessert. It brought out the deep flavors of the pumpkin and the earthiness of the spices. Top this smoked pumpkin pie with sweetened whipped cream and a little caramel sauce for the perfect dessert.
