Pumpkin Shortbread Dessert image

Took this off another recipe site about 2 years ago when I was searching for something a little different from the traditional pumpkin pie. Makes a lovely dessert and lots of it, to feed a family gathering. If you like shortbread and pumpkin, you'll enjoy this combination.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the pecans in the filling with walnuts. It turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly and the shortbread turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.
