pumpkin filling
Custard for crusts
Pumpkin filling is the spiced, sweetened mixture used in pumpkin pie and similar desserts—typically puréed pumpkin combined with eggs, sugar, and warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
The term often refers to canned products that come pre-spiced and ready to pour into a pie crust: I just need to pick up some pumpkin filling for Thanksgiving.
