Inside Out Pumpkin Pie

Admittedly, it looks scary... and I've been told that the early settlers also cooked their pumpkin this way... But it was delicious, and I totally expect a wave of new "cooked in pumpkin" dishes to appear next year!

I wanted to make a pumpkin pie out of the pumpkin I used for a decoration. I like carved pumpkins, but I dislike the fact that they start to mold just a few days later.

So I decided to display my pumpkin without carving it and then to cook it whole afterwards.

What I found was that a few people have baked a whole pumpkin in the oven, but no one has tried to make pumpkin pie in a whole baked pumpkin. At least... not that I could find.

And like the first of anything, it can (admittedly) use some improvement.

BUT regardless of the taste, this is a great conversation piece, and your friends will run home to make their own version of Inside Out Pumpkin Pie...

I HOPE.

I hope that this is the first, but not the last time someone will use this idea. If you do use the idea, please refer back to this instructable. Enjoy the pie!
