Been making this for a while now for special occasions and everyone likes it, the only difficulty is getting tinned pumpkin as in the UK.
I serve it with cream and a glass of cold amaretto07/05/08

I used this recipe as a guideline more than anything. Instead of amaretti cookies I used vanilla wafers and sprayed the completed, uncooked crust with I Can't Believe its Not Butter spray (about 5 sprays). The crust is really hard to fomr into the pan, so I also coated my fingers with the spray butter. Also, I added about a tbsp pumpkin pie spice, a tsp clove and more cinnamon. This pie (because of the crust) is best eaten a day or so after its baked, it really sets into the wafer crust and tastes delicious!12/29/07
