Thanksgiving: Pumpkins, Peanut Butter, and Limes

I have baked/cooked quite a few things over the past few months or so that I have been meaning to take pictures of and blog about, but I never seemed to remember the camera; when I did remember the camera, I just never go around to writing about it.


Because of this lack of updates, I am sharing my three Thanksgiving desserts for this year: pumpkin cheesecake, peanut butter pie, and key-lime pie.  As it is not yet Thanksgiving day, I have not yet sampled any of these desserts in their finished state.  I have, of course, sampled during the process of making these desserts and I am very excited about the pumpkin cheesecake and the peanut butter pie.  The key-lime pie I am less sure of.  The crust tasted great (how could a graham cracker crust not taste good?)  The key-lime filling seemed completely overpowered by the texture/flavour of the condensed milk and the sour-cream topping seemed nothing more than 'fine'.  While the two main parts of the concoction seemed less-than-desirable, I am hoping that when they're put together they'll create something decent.  I suppose I will find out tomorrow.

*EDIT*  The key-lime pie tasted fine.  I apparently didn't cook it quite enough, so the middle wasn't completely set and the crust was moist, but, since it was chilled, it was not a soggy crust. */EDIT*
