My favorite recipe growing up from my grandma was her chicken pot pie. I loved going to her house and smelling “her” pot pies as they baked in the oven. Luckily, my dad started to “make” them too. I was in Pot Pie Heaven.

When I became a mom, I decided that it was time for me to carry on the tradition of “grandma’s pot pies”. I called my dad super excited and asked for the recipe. I was expecting his typical response: “Ask mom; it’s in the recipe box.” Instead, he said, “Sandi, you can get them at the store. Grandma’s pot pies are Marie Callender’s pot pies!” What??? Come again. Are you serious?!

Here’s the deal. My grandma is a fantastic baker and has been her whole life, along with my grandpa, who came from a line of great bakers. So when we were served the most perfect-looking pot pies, I had no question that grandma made them from scratch. With that said, I will still occasionally have a pot pie from the freezer section just for old-time sake, but I would instead remember her from scratch recipes that I have carried down to my kids. Recipes, like this Pumpkin Fudge Pie, inspired by my Aunt Patty, who got all her baking skills from my grandparents.

Pumpkin Pie Tips

  • Once baked, allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature, then cover it tightly and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve. This method ensures the pie stays fresh and maintains its flavor and texture. The colder temperature helps maintain its freshness. The colder temperature helps maintain its freshness. Consume the pie within 3-4 days for optimal taste and texture.
  • Avoid Direct Air Exposure: Air exposure can dry the pie or alter its flavor. To prevent this, place the wrapped pie in an airtight container or cover it securely with plastic wrap. If you have slices left, individually wrap them or store them in airtight containers to maintain moisture.
  • When mixing the pumpkin pie filling, avoid overmixing. Stir until everything is just combined to avoid a dense texture.
  • The spice blend is crucial for that quintessential pumpkin pie flavor. Don’t skimp on cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
  • Making it in advance allows the flavors to meld and intensify, often resulting in a more delicious pie.

How do you make Pumpkin Fudge Pie?

Pie Crust

Mix flour, butter, sugar, and salt to prepare the pie crust. Use a pastry blender to bring it all together. Mix in water and egg and blend until well combined.

Flour the counter and knead the dough for a few minutes. Divide the dough in half and roll it out immediately for use, or wrap it in plastic and store it in the fridge until ready.

When ready, roll out one pie crust and place it in a pie pan.

Prepare fudge layer

Melt together chocolate and butter. When melted, remove from heat and stir in sugar and beaten eggs.

Stir until well combined with no visible egg. Pour into unbaked pie shell.

Prepare pumpkin Layer

Combine pumpkin, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger in a medium mixing bowl. Stir until well combined and pour over the fudge layer in the unbaked pie shell.

Place in oven at 425 for 15 minutes. When 15 minutes is over, reduce oven temp to 350 and bake for another 60-65 minutes or until the center of the pie is not wiggly.
