Can I Use Canned Pumpkin Pie Filling for Maple Pumpkin Trifle?

wadesgirl · Nov 23, 2010

So this is going to be one of those "DUH" questions but I'm going to ask! The new Maple Pumpkin Trifle in the Simply Sweet Cookbook says to use a can of pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie filling). I ran across a can of pumpkin in my kitchen from last year. It has the pumpkin pie filling recipe on the side. Is this the can I want to use or is there something different? I've only made pumpkin pie once before so this is something I have no clue about!

The can should say either "pure pumpkin" or "pumpkin pie filling." It sounds as though you should use the first and not the filling.
