POPSUGAR is bringing you an exclusive watch at Thanksgiving recipes from famous lifestyle influencers. We're excited to present the first online watch at this chocolate-crusted pumpkin pie recipe from Candance Nelson's The Sprinkles Baking Book.
Every year,I pull the same fiercely protected, tried-and-trusty recipes out of my Thanksgiving file then set to work in the kitchen creating the traditional dishes my family looks forward to all year. I'm hesitant to mess with them for sentimental reasons, and so I was slightly uneasy about serving my new riff on our beloved pumpkin pie recipe: a chocolate crust? insanity! It's a appetizing surprise that manages to make that luscious pumpkin flavor pop even more! Luckily,just as I became totally smitten, my family gave it their Turkey Day approval!Related:
