The 1.6 kg Butternut Pumpkin Pie from Little Farms is a slice of heaven that will bring your celebration to a sweet ending. The decadent pie not only looks enticing from the outside to attract the brood but scores big points on flavour too.

Indulge in Simply Good Pies‘ take on the American classic during your Thanksgiving feast! Their pumpkin pie is a nostalgic trip to grandma’s kitchen in the good ol’ USA, bursting with rich, warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice, all blended with creamy pumpkin atop a buttery pastry base. We’ve elevated the flavour using dark brown sugar, giving it a deeper, more indulgent taste. Now, with a richer colour, this pie comes in 12 slices of wholesome goodness. Made to order, this special treat requires at least three days for delivery – because something this delicious is worth the wait!
