Just when I think I can’t reinvent pumpkin pie, I realized there’s a new frontier: frozen pumpkin pie! Honestly, this can change your life. Period. Make it a few days before Thanksgiving and forget about stressing about dessert. This still delivers the delicious pumpkin flavor you’re craving but also that frozen desert texture we all love.

Instructions
For the crust
- Preheat oven to 325°F.

Kaleb! I made this pie yesterday afternoon and it was so easy! I have it in the freezer overnight and will be sharing it today for Thanksgiving. I can’t wait to eat a big slice. Thanks for posting!
