Helpful Tips for Making Pumpkin Torte

  • Be sure to get canned pumpkin and not canned pumpkin pie filling.
  • Crack your eggs into a separate bowl and then pour the eggs into the recipe. This helps avoid eggshells as it’s easier to see them and remove them from a separate bowl.
  • To create graham cracker crumbs, place graham crackers in a gallon zip-top bag. Use a rolling pin to crush.
  • Make sure to make this dish with plenty of time for cooling between adding layers.
