Andrew’s Wholewheat Pumpkin Pie
First let me say sorry for this post being a day late, our return trip from NJ was delayed. As with all our quarterly visits to NJ this one was fun and filled with laughter, good conversations and great food. Andrew volunteered to make the dessert for our “Steak Night” dinner. His choice of a pumpkin pie matched the drop in temperature and the coloring of the leaves. The wholewheat addition to the crust and a good amount of nutmeg made this pie both delicious and a nice change from the usual seasonal pumpkin pies.
So if you are looking for a great dessert and not afraid to rush the season a bit, Andrew’s Wholewheat Pumpkin Pie may be just the right choice for your next dinner.

Beat the egg yolk in ice water and add and pour into the bowl and process until it forms a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 1/2 hour.
