Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin pie is a food item obtained from pumpkins. Unlike cake or cookies, it can be crafted in the inventory, without needing milk buckets like cake or a furnace like meat. It recovers eight hunger points, and its saturation value is above bread and fish, but below mushroom stew, and considerably below cooked meats. The raw materials (Pumpkin, sugar cane, eggs) can be found in several biomes, and farmed almost anywhere.

Advantages

 * Pumpkin pie has a higher hunger restoration value than most uncooked foods.
 * The crafting recipe for pumpkin pie is shapeless, and fits within the 2x2 crafting grid of the player's inventory. This makes it possible to craft pumpkin pie anywhere without a workbench, given the player is carrying the ingredients.

Disadvantages

 * Steak and cooked porkchops restore significantly more saturation than pumpkin pie, along with the same amount of hunger.
 * Pumpkins are relatively rare, so it may take some time and traveling before the player is even able to establish a sizable pumpkin farm.
 * Pumpkin plants are slow to bear fruit and sadly only yield a single pumpkin per harvest.

Trivia

 * Pumpkin Pie is the second most beneficial dessert in Minecraft; Cake restores more hunger, but has a very low saturation level, while Cookies restore 1 hunger point each.
 * Pumpkin Pie is the third dessert item in the game.
 * Pumpkin Pie is the only dessert in game that doesn't require wheat to craft.
