Pro Tips

  • Real pumpkin purée (canned is fine, not pie filling) is what makes this taste like pie, not syrup.
  • Home-made pumpkin spice is better than McCormick's — equal cinnamon/ginger, less clove, tiny pinch cardamom.
  • Toast the graham-cracker rim under a broiler for 30 seconds for a browned-crust aroma.
