Tips:
- For a smoother filling, blend the mascarpone cheese and pumpkin purée until completely smooth before adding the eggs and spices.
- Be sure to pre-bake the pie crust for at least 10 minutes before filling it. This will help prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
- If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can brown the top of the pie with a broiler. Just be sure to watch it closely so that it doesn't burn.
- Serve the pie warm or at room temperature. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
