Pumpkin Pie

What is it?

Twelve inches across and just under four pounds at 58 ounces, this pie is built on a single flaky crust and filled with smooth pumpkin custard. Cinnamon leads the spice mix, with ginger, nutmeg, and cloves in the background, so the filling reads more like pumpkin with warm spice than a heavily spiced cream pie. Sold as a seasonal bakery item, it usually shows up in late summer and runs through the holidays. It's one of the larger-format pies in the Kirkland Signature dessert range, designed to slice into 10 to 16 pieces. The custard sets firm enough for clean slices while staying creamy, and the crust stays thin and buttery under the weight of the filling.
