Pumpkin pie is a traditional dessert made primarily from pumpkin puree, sugar, and spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. It is typically baked in a pie crust and served during the fall and winter months, especially around Thanksgiving in the United States. The filling is smooth and creamy, offering a sweet and slightly spiced flavor that many people enjoy. This dessert is often topped with whipped cream, enhancing its rich taste. Pumpkin pie can be made from scratch using fresh pumpkins or from canned pumpkin puree for convenience. It is a popular choice for holiday gatherings and celebrations, symbolizing the harvest season.
