What To Serve With It
While pumpkin pie’s rich flavor and creamy texture shine on their own, pairing it with the right sides can turn dessert into something even more special.
I love serving it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream—those creamy, cold additions complement the pie perfectly.
For a cozy touch, a warm cup of coffee or spiced cider works wonders.
If you’re feeling adventurous, try a sprinkle of toasted pecans or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra flair.
Trust me, these pairings make every bite feel like a celebration of fall’s best flavors!
