I found this recipe years ago and have made it many times each fall and winter. Everytime I have taken it somewhere I have been asked for the recipe or they will request that I bring the pumpkin dessert. It is a favorite of our family and extended family. We raise pumpkins and so I collect pumpkin recipes to use as well as to give out to our customers as well.
