When you finally, finally take that first bite, use a fork. Does the filling stick to the back of the fork? Is it creamy, not slimy?
If it glides off like butter, you’ve nailed it. If it clumps like scrambled eggs… well, we’ve all been there. Next time, pull it earlier.
So go on. Embrace the jiggle. Trust your thermometer. And remember: a perfectly done pumpkin pie is a little wobbly, a lot creamy, and always better with a mountain of whipped cream. You’ve got this.
