Burned-top pumpkin pie

So I am just saying it! I love pumpkin, period!

All the recipes made with pumpkins definitely are on my top list meals. As I’ve mentioned it here, when October approaches, I start thinking pumpkin☺

My family does not feel the same regarding pumpkins, but I do not give up that easily so eventually they’ll start loving it.

Lucky for me, pumpkin pie is one of their favourite desserts. Today I am proposing you to try out this Burned-top pumpkin pie. I have to say it turned out to be a mix between crème Brule and the pumpkin pie, so you should definitely try it.
