The 21-ingredient, triple-chocolate p.i.t.a. pumpkin pie

I had planned to live-blog during the making of this Martha Stewart pie today.
Then I happened to read the recipe last night and noticed the part where it said "chill overnight." 
In the end, I'm glad I didn't try to bake and blog simultaneously because 
it got kind of ugly for a while and there was way too much stress involved.





When all was said and done, it turned out quite nicely. And that's a very good thing. 
Because I would be really embarassed to show up for Thanksgiving dinner without a pie in hand.

  6. If I made that pie, and it didn't come out good, my embarrassment at showing up pieless would be tempered by the joy of knowing the whole "came out bad" thing would be waiting for me and my fork when I got home.

  12. Wow - that's one good looking pie! Yes, Martha is a hard task-master with her recipes. I made babka once like her mother makes it and it was, well, let's just say, it wasn't easy. Happy Thanksgiving to you and all your wonderful furry and feathered pals- I'm grateful to be able to escape to the 7MSN every morning while I drink that first cup of coffee!

  21. That IS a lot of ingredients. I've never done chocolate and pumpkin together. I may have to look into that.

  23. I watched Marta making frosting snowflake cookies that took her about 10 minutes for each one. All I could think was how it would take a kid about 10 seconds to eat it!

  24. It looks GORGEOUS! You did a fine job! I bet it was scrumptious, too.
    I fought the tin foil around our crust, while in the oven, and the oven won. I kept bumping my hand against the hot parts of the oven while trying to reinstall the stupid foil edges!
