Request: Freezing Pumpkin Pies

Can I freeze a store bought pumpkin pie? I bought it for Thanksgiving. Will it be watery when I thaw it out in the refrigerator?

I bought a pumpkin pie last Christmas at the bakery and had it frozen until this August. It was perfect. Will do it again after the holiday and they are on sale. (11/26/2008)

That's a great idea about cutting them first before freezing, thanks! I never would have thought of that. (06/07/2008)

"Q: I would like to make Pumpkin pies in advance and freeze them. Is this possible?
Annette
A: Theoretically, baked pumpkin pies can be frozen for 1 - 2 months and then thawed in refrigerator. But, it's not a good idea; the quality of a freshly baked homemade pumpkin pie is usually higher than a frozen one -- it's easiest and better to freeze the crust. Add the filling to the frozen crust (no need to thaw) just before baking and bake as usual.
When I have frozen a filled and baked pumpkin pie, I don't like the results -- custard pies, such as a pumpkin pie, get watery after thawing, ruining the filling and the crust. If you must freeze, do a trial run with your pie BEFORE you need it for a special event."
Hope this helps :) (11/14/2005)

I was reading this post and I am in the same boat I want to make my pumpkin pies now to cook later. Is it okay to make the pies now and freeze them first to cook later? And if so what would be the baking instructions for a frozen uncooked pie? (11/17/2005)

RE: Freezing Pumpkin Pies
My wife makes delicious homemade pumkin pies with homemade crust. We always freeze them and they taste just as good as when they come out of the oven.
We cut the pie into pieces before freezing, that way we can take one or several pieces out at a time the night before we expect to enjoy them.
Just cover the pie with plastic wrap then aluminum foil. (12/02/2005)

What about freezing the filling (I use pie pumpkins, cook them, blend with the eggs and spices, etc.) in freeser bags? It would have to be thawed, of course, and one could either re-blend or drain the liquid. Any thoughts? (11/18/2006)
