Yes, I’m about 2 weeks late, I know. These are busy times for a baker. For Thanksgiving I made 2 pies, chocolate pie and pumpkin pie. I used a cream cheese crust for both.

If anyone has any explanation as to why, my first 3 butter crusts just melted and shrunk into a pie crust disk, I would be ever so greatful. I have made the crust many times before, it’s a Melissa Clark recipe from 2 years ago. In the end, I went with the cream cheese crust.

The pumpkin pie recipe is my own which I am still trying to get exact measurements on. The chocolate pie recipe is a Dorie Greenspan recipe. So delicious
