My husband brought home a container of Libby's Pumpkin Pie Mix instead of the puree...and I had to be at a party by 2:30 this afternoon. So I decided to experiment. Libby's Pumpkin Pie Mix has all the sugar, flavor and pumpkin in it. You add the eggs and milk. It is labeled gluten free.
You are supposed to add 2/3 cup evaporated milk and 2 eggs.
I added 1/4 cup cornstarch and 2/3 cup of SO DELICIOUS Coconut Nog. I figured it is thicker than regular milk so I would give it a whirl. The raw pie filling tastes delicious-creamy and flavorful. It LOOKS like regular pie filling more than the other recipe did.
It is currently baking-I'm not sure if it is going to be brilliant or a complete flop, so I'll update when it is done with a picture. I don't know if it will thicken right! Keeping my fingers crossed.
**Update** This was fantastic! I did serve it later that day and the texture was a bit sticky, but after refrigerating overnight it was beautiful. The pumpkin "custard" was thick, creamy and silky smooth. The flavor was outstanding. I would definitely do this again-the flavor was very similar to regular pumpkin pie.
