Cotton Candy Pumpkin was the first of the four pumpkins I decided to try for my pies. The pie was extremely mild in flavor. The spices in the filling came through quite strong and the flavor of the pumpkin itself was lost.

When you cut the cotton candy pumpkin it has a very pale yellow colored pulp. And even the roasting the pumpkin did not change the color that much (see the pictures bellow):


However it produced a nice looking pumpkin pie, the filling had a nice texture to it:

However, as I said, the taste needed more “pumpkiness” to it. So if you ever wonder if the Cotton Candy Pumpkin is good for making pies, I would suggest other pumpkins. Unless of course you prefer the very mild taste of Cotton Candy Pumpkin.
