  1. sweetclafoutis REVIEW:

    i made this for Thanksgiving at my mom's and everyone loved it. The pumpkin filling is nice and fluffy. I added a tablespoon of butter to the caramel and a teaspoon of kosher salt. You do need to put the topping on before it cools, or you won't be able to spread it evenly. I arranged the pecan halves nicely on top of the pie, and then finished it with some Maldon sea salt for a salted caramel pumpkin pecan pie. With some freshly whipped cream, it was perfect.

  2. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    I am an Aussie and I made this recently and it was a huge hit. My only comments are I would blind bake the pastry next time because the base was not crips, and the caramel sauce over the top was too runny after baking. I would almost wait and add this at serving next time. Outstanding recipe with double whipped cream, served warm or cold!
