Pumpkin pie: evaporated or sweetened condensed milk?

[Anonymous]

Sweetened condensed helps add caramelly flavors.

I use eggnog.

[Anonymous]

Regular milk at room temperature.

I use heavy cream plus 1/2 cup of sugar.

[Anonymous]

My recipe calls for half and half. Think that’s ok?

My recipe uses sweetened condensed milk. But I am interested in PPs whipping cream recipe.

I use sweet potatoes and a minimal amount of cream, regular milk, or evaporated milk. I like it dense, not custardy. And the condensed milk I will turn into caramel and proceed to eat out of the can.

--and one year discovered I had no evaporated milk or even regular milk, so I softened up some vanilla ice cream, cut the sugar to taste. Had a great texture. This was when I was still using pumpkin and would normally follow the recipes that call for evaporated milk.

I don’t care, I just wish my dumbass husband didn’t:
1) Forget to buy the evaporated milk for his dumbass pie
2) Feel compelled to make a dry crust when Pillsbury does it better
3) Feel compelled to make it from a pie pumpkin vs. Libby’s IT DOES NOT TASTE BETTER
4) Take over the kitchen until at least 11:30 p.m. tonight with his dumbass cooking projects

AND ALSO NO ONE LIKES MINCE PIE.

I also do cut back on the sugar. I have added an extra egg at times but not always. I didn’t notice a difference.
