After a giant Thanksgiving dinner often the last thing you want is 5 different kinds of pie, yet somehow we feel obligated to go nuts. With this fabulous recipe you can have all the fun and goodness of pie without feeling like you have to barf.  For 6 to 8 people: Blend 1 8 oz. carton Mascarpone cheese (Italian cream cheese – awesome) with 1 cup sugar. Mix in 2 cups high quality pumpkin, 2 Tb. brandy, and 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spices. Whip 1 cup heavy cream and gently fold that into your pumpkin mixture. Now you can get all creative with crushed cookies – I like gingersnaps or Amaretti. Crumble a bunch of those up, then in cool glasses layer cookies, pumpkin, cookies, pumpkin, and end with cookies. Chill for several hours or until you’re ready to serve. You’ll be happy and not too full, plus you’ll have room for that oh-so-important late night turkey sandwich!
