Serve it to someone you shouldn't be baking for — the pie Dr. Pomatter spots and asks about before Jenna admits she made it just for him.

In the movie

Theatrical

00:57:01 Dr. Pomatter notices a pumpkin pie in the room and asks if it's for him. Jenna admits it's 'kind of' his — an invented pie she's just named on the spot: 'Naughty Pumpkin Pie.'

It's a plain pumpkin pie with a name that gives the game away — Jenna's told Dr. Pomatter it's "kind of" his before either of them has said out loud what's actually happening between them. The pie says it first.

Ingredients

1 unbaked pie crust
15 oz pumpkin puree
¾ cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon ginger
¼ teaspoon cloves
¼ teaspoon salt

Method

Whisk the pumpkin, sugar, eggs, cream, spices, and salt until smooth.
Pour into the unbaked crust.
Bake at 350°F for 50–55 minutes, until set at the edges with a slight wobble at the center.
Cool fully before slicing — pumpkin pie sets as it cools.
