About recipe

For those planning to bake their pies this Thanksgiving, we recommend this classic take on Pumpkin Pie cooked-up by the talented team at Whole Foods Market! This perfectly spiced pumpkin pie is the ideal candidate to top off your holiday meal, especially when capped with a scoop of cranberry gelato or any other sweet-tart ice cream.

Baker’s Tip: If your jar of pumpkin pie spice is low, the experts at Whole Foods Market recommend you make your own by combining 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves.
