Have you ever heard anyone complain about Costco’s pumpkin pie? It’s so good & often sells out – so we thought we would bring you a replica recipe for you to try out on your own!

Ingredients:

1 Store Bought Pie Crust

Filling:

  • 1 large egg
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:

Prepare the Pie Crust

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 375°F
  2. Roll the chilled pie dough out on a floured board then position the pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate. Fold the edges of the pie dough under and crimp or press down with a fork. Freeze for 15 minutes. (See note 1)
  3. Line the pie crust with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights. (See note 2.)
  4. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes then remove the pie weights and bake for another 5 minutes. Remove the pie crust and set aside while you prepare the filling.
  5. **Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F

Prepare the Filling

  1. Whisk the egg and egg yolks in a large bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and whisk until well blended.
  2. Pour the filling into the pre-baked pie shell and bake for 45 to 50 minutes. The center may jiggle like jello when you shake the pie plate… that’s fine, it will firm up when it is cool. (See note 3)
  3. Cool on a wire rack for 2 hours then cover with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour

  2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease baking sheets.
  3. Remove dough from refrigerator in small amounts. Scoop 1 heaping teaspoon at a time onto a piece of waxed paper. Use the waxed paper to roll the dough into a thin finger-shaped cookie. Press one almond into one end of each cookie to give the appearance of a long fingernail. Squeeze cookie near the tip and again near the center of each to give the impression of knuckles. You can also cut into the dough with a sharp knife at the same points to help give a more finger-like appearance. Arrange the shaped cookies on the baking sheets.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are slightly golden in color, 20 to 25 minutes.
  5. Remove the almond from the end of each cookie; squeeze a small amount of red decorating gel into the cavity; replace the almond to cause the gel to ooze out around the tip of the cookie.
