We all liked it but wasn't as good the next day. Also- I used full fat butter.

I don't know what I did wrong.

I followed the directions, but mine never set. I baked it the time it said and even baked it longer, but the pumpkin was still all liquidy.[[:'(]

I made this and it never set. Very disappointed.

Just after I received my issue in the mail I sat down and started looking through it. When I came to this recipe, I HAD to go right to the kitchen and make it - it sounded THAT GOOD! (and easy). We are going to dinner tonight at a friend's house and I'm taking a second batch of this over there for dessert. This is a new favorite at my house and will be made several times this fall. Thank you for a great, easy, recipe that is so good!
