Mock Pumpkin Pie Made With Carrots
"I love this recipe for Mock Pumpkin Pie. It's so simple and easy--but tastes just like a traditional pumpkin pie. Here’s the real secret though, this mock pumpkin pie isn’t what you’d expect–there’s a reason it’s called “mock”. It’s made from carrots. Yep. I just can’t believe it’s not real pumpkin, honestly. Even when it’s baking this faux pumpkin pie smells just like the real thing. Pumpkin pie spice is a kind of magic–I don’t know how, but it’s like pumpkin in a jar. "
