I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pumpkin turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

This recipe was a disaster! The pumpkin was undercooked and the filling was runny. I had to throw the whole thing away.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The pumpkin was a bit bland and the filling was a bit too sweet for my taste.

The pumpkin was a bit too mushy for my taste, but the filling was delicious. I think I would try roasting the pumpkin instead of baking it next time.

I used a smaller pumpkin than the recipe called for, so I had to adjust the cooking time. But other than that, the recipe was easy to follow and the pumpkin turned out great.

This baked pumpkin recipe was an absolute delight! The pumpkin turned out perfectly tender and flavorful, and the filling was rich and creamy. I especially loved the crispy pecan topping. It added a nice textural contrast to the soft pumpkin.
