Funny…No one felt like pie this Canadian Thanksgiving. So, instead, I used this as an opportunity to play around with a dessert for our feast.
Everyone in the family loves Chai flavors, so I tried to enhance our pumpkin spices with a bit of Indian flair adding cardamom. Then, well, alcohol enhances flavor and I used brandy for this recipe as it reminds me of the Holidays.
Try this – it’s so fast and super easy to prepare – You’ll love it!
Plus, how many people do you know that don’t eat the pastry crust on pies during the Holidays? Here’s the filling without the crust! LOL
