pumpkin sugar pie thing

[cricklewood]

Ok I am wondering if anyone can help me find the right formula. I want to bake a pumpkin pie but not in the traditional sense, I am looking to make something that is a cross between a pumpkin pie and a sugar pie. Basically a pate sucree dough with a pumpkin filling that has that wonderful texture and sweetness that you can from quebec "Tarte au sucre" (think pecan pie without the pecan's) is there already a recipe out there like this, if not I was thinking of taking a sugar pie recipe and subbing a percentage of pumpkin or squash puree in it? Can anyone help? thanks

There are actually quite a few "Pumpkin Pecan Pie" recipes out there. Perhaps you can just omit the pecans?

Here are a couple that are nice:
