True pumpkin pie mead? Experiment

Posting here to see if anyone's ever done true pumpkin pie mead, or anything similar. This is a repost from r/mead, I don't know whether they're more or less likely to have tried this than you guys. Not sure if I should anticipate issues with bread yeast in the crust, but worst case scenario it's an experimental project that I can afford to flush if it's really bad.

Recipe: ~1 lb of actual pumpkin pie from Costco ~2 lbs Brazilian honey One pack of red wine yeast Topped up with distilled water

too much butter/oil and egg protines in there, will rot before it ferments.

I've got quite old pickled eggs that are still quite good just because they have been living in a low ph liquid. .. Is egg and milk in a ferment worse than using ox blood or fish guts as fining agents ? They might just be what /r/mead is looking for in a replacement of raisins for yeast nutrient.
