Timeline
Keep this general timeline in mind when planning for the big day:
Thanksgiving Eve:
- Set out the butter and cream cheese for the pie crust. When softened, mix together and form a log (Step 1, Crust); refrigerate overnight.
Thanksgiving Morning:
- Mix pie dough, put into pie plate, and refrigerate.
- If using fresh pumpkin, bake it, then purée and allow to cool.
- Prepare filling.
- Assemble pie and bake.
Tip
Store your finished pie in the refrigerator; the eggs and milk in the filling can encourage bacterial growth.
