Preparation
STEP 1
Preheat oven to 350°F.

STEP 3
Remove from oven and let cool for at least 20 minutes. Leaving pumpkin cut-side down on tray, gently peel off skin. Discard any moisture in pan.
STEP 4
Purée cooked pumpkin in food processor or blender until very smooth.
STEP 5
Increase oven temperature to 375°F.
STEP 6
Blend 3 cups of pureed pumpkin with remaining filling ingredients until smooth. Pour into pie shells.
STEP 7
Bake for 60-70 minutes, until filling is set but center still jiggles slightly. Transfer to rack and cool completely.
