Categories     Cheese     Dessert     Bake     Thanksgiving

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 16

CRUST
3/4 cup all purpose flour
6 tablespoons firmly packed golden brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 tablespoon cold water
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
FILLING

6 tablespoons sour cream
1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup canned solid-pack pumpkin
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

Steps:

  • For Crust: Butter 9 inch diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Blend flour, sugar, and salt in processor using on/off turns. Add butter and process until mixture resembles coarse corn meal. Add water and process just until moist clumps form. Transfer to large bowl. Add pecans and knead gently until pecans are incorporated and dough comes together. Press dough on bottom and up sides of prepared pan. Refrigerate until dough is firm, about 30 minutes. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Wrap tightly and keep refrigerated.) Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 375. Line crust with foil; fill with beans or pie weights. Back until crust sides are firm, about 10 minutes. Remove beans and foil and bake until crust begins to brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer crust to rack. Maintain oven temperature. For filling: Beat cream cheese and sour cream in large bowl until smooth. Gradually add sugar and beat until blended. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating just to blend after each addition. Transfer 1/3 cup cheese mixture to small bowl. Add pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger and cloves to cheese mixture in large bowl and beat until blended. Spread pumpkin filling in crust. Drop reserved 1/3 cup cheese mixture by teaspoonfuls over pumpkin filling. Using tip of small sharp knife, gently swirl cheese mixture into pumpkin mixture in decorative pattern. Bake pie until filling is firm in center, about 30 minutes. Cool pie on rack. Cover and chill. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.)

LAYERED CREAM CHEESE PUMPKIN PIE



Layered cream cheese pumpkin pie image

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 package graham cracker crust
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1 piece egg
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon allspice
15 ounce pumpkin puree, canned
1 cup evaporated milk or light cream
3 eggs, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • To make the cheesecake filling: Combine the room-temperature cream cheese and sugar, beating slowly until the mixture is fairly smooth. It may appear grainy, or a few lumps may remain; that's OK.
  • Stir in the egg and vanilla
  • Spoon the filling into the pie crust.
  • To make the pumpkin filling: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, salt, and spices.
  • Add the pumpkin, cream or evaporated milk, and eggs, and whisk gently until smooth. (You don't want to beat a lot of air into this mixture; just be sure it's thoroughly combined.)
  • Gently spoon the pumpkin filling atop the cheesecake layer, filling within 1/4" of the top of the crust. Note: Do this carefully at first, so as to not disturb the cheesecake layer; once you've covered the cheesecake, you can be less careful
  • Bake the pie for 15 minutes.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F, and continue to bake for 40 to 45 minutes, covering the edges of the pie with a crust shield or aluminum foil if they seem to be browning too quickly. The pie is done when it looks set, but still wobbles a bit in the center when you jiggle it. If you have a digital thermometer, the pie will register 165°F at its center when it's done.
  • Remove the pie from the oven, allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate it until serving time. Serve with lightly sweetened whipped cream flavored with a pinch of ginger and teaspoon of vanilla.

Tips:

  • Use the best quality cream cheese possible for a rich and creamy pie filling.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before beating it, so it incorporates smoothly into the filling.
  • Don't overbeat the cream cheese, or it will become too runny.
  • Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for the best flavor.
  • Add the pumpkin puree, spices, and sugar to the cream cheese mixture gradually, beating well after each addition.
  • Pour the pumpkin cheese filling into a pre-baked pie crust and bake at 350°F for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving.
  • Serve the pie with whipped cream, ice cream, or your favorite topping.

Conclusion:

This cream cheese pumpkin pie is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any special occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its creamy, pumpkin-spiced filling and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
