Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    There’s really no need to garnish this stunning marbled pie, but if you can’t resist, just add a dollop of whipped cream, a chocolate leaf or an edible flower.
  • tip 2
    Put a slightly different spin on this pumpkin delight by using a store-bought graham cracker crumb crust instead of the cookie crumb crust you make yourself.
