ABall, Pumkin Pie Recipe?........Anyone?

Do you ( or anyone else ) know of a Pumpkin Pie Recipe that the end result won't remind me of "baby food" in a pie shell? I have tried many recipes, but regardless, they always have the same "baby food" texture. Can't stand that (the texture). Any ideas? Anyone?

Do you want it from the pumpkin to the pie, or canned pumpkin?

IMO, the best pumpkin pie recipe is the one on the Libby's can (not the pumpkin pie mix, the canned pumpkin). I'm not sure how you'd get a pie that's not 'babyfood-ish' though, as that's sort of the point of pumpkin pie. I certainly wouldn't want want chunky, but I guess you could make it that way if that was your preference.
