Hello Pumpkin

Pumpkin Dessert

Wow, I love this dessert.  The combination of the cream custardy pumpkin mixture with the contrasting buttery crunchy topping is so good it is almost sinful.  Our friend Susan made this for us on a fall evening.  Erick and I were both humming in delight.  Susan even sent us home with a generous portion of leftovers, bless her heart.  She is a thoughtful, kind, generous, loving spirit and we adore her.  I am so grateful she is so generous with her heart and recipes!
