Chocolate-Swirled Pumpkin Pie
This pumpkin pie, made with all-butter pie dough, includes swirls of filling mixed with melted bittersweet chocolate for even more flavor. To create a crisp crust on the bottom, Grace Parisi partially bakes the pie shell before adding the filling. If the edge starts to darken too much, cover it with a pie shield or strips of foil. This is a great crust for Classic Pumpkin Pie and another variation, Pumpkin-Chiffon Pie. Plus: Ultimate Thanksgiving Guide, More Pumpkin Desserts, More Pies & Tarts
