(Inspired by the clear pumpkin pie from the restaurant Alinea.)

Upon the first bite, an eerily familiar phantom flavor haunts you with memories of a comforting pumpkin pie from your yesteryears. A familiarity tainted with a sense of wrongness. This pie was light, spicy, refreshing, cold, and firm to the touch. A ghost of that sweet, rich, and creamy dessert you had wistfully recalled.
How many of those pies from your past had you devoured inconsiderately? Never truly appreciating that slice of heaven until it was gone?
So many questions piling up like dirty dishes in the sink.
Yours is spotlessly clean.
When did you polish off that pie?
Had there been any there to begin with?
All you’re left with is a fleeting phantom flavor on your taste buds and pumpkin spice nostalgia.

Agar-agar powder, water, sugar, imitation pumpkin spice extract, and clear imitation vanilla extract was used to create the pie’s filling.
Pumpkin spice yogurt, butter, water, and all-purpose flour was used to make the thick pie crust.
The crust was blind baked, cooled, decorated with orange-colored icing, filled with the agar-agar mixture, then allowed to set in the refrigerator until firm. Sliced and served with scoops of Ben & Jerry's® Pumpkin Cheesecake ice cream, whipped cream, and a sprinkle of M&M's® White Pumpkin Pie candies.
(Unlike the original from Alinea, which reportedly has the consistency of a delicate mizu shingen mochi, this version is firmer.)
