1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel

1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter, softened
3/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans

Steps:

  • In a medium mixing bowl beat cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium to high speed until smooth. With mixer on low to medium speed, beat in granulated sugar, vanilla, and 1 egg until smooth. Stir in lemon peel. Cover and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare Pastry for Deep-Dish Pie. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 13-inch circle. Ease pastry into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Trim pastry to 1/2 inch beyond edge of plate; fold extra pastry under until even with the plates rim and crimp edges. Spoon cream-cheese mixture into the pastry-lined pie plate, spreading evenly.

In a small bowl combine 3 tablespoons brown sugar, flour, and butter. Stir in pecans. Sprinkle pecan mixture evenly over pie filling. Bake 10 to 15 minutes more or until topping starts to brown. Cool 1 hour on a wire rack. Chill at least 2 hours before serving. Serve with sweetened whipped cream. For longer storage, cover and keep refrigerated. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
  • Pastry for Deep-Dish Pie: In a medium bowl stir together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in 6 tablespoons shortening until the pieces are pea size. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon cold water over part of the flour mixture; gently toss with a fork. Push moistened dough to the side of bowl. Repeat, using 1 tablespoon water at a time, until all the flour is moistened (about 5 to 6 tablespoons total water). Form into a ball.

PUMPKIN, PECAN, CHEESECAKE PIE RECIPE - (4/5)



Pumpkin, Pecan, Cheesecake Pie Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by Niecer

Number Of Ingredients 35

Flaky Pie Crust
Adapted from Tish Boyle, with my revisions
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, chilled
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2 inch chunks and frozen
1/4 cup lard or vegetable shortening, frozen
6 to 8 tablespoons ice-cold water ( I add 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar and remove 1 tablespoon water in all pie crust recipes - it tenderizes the crust)
Cheesecake Layer
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 egg
Pumpkin Pie Layer
1 2/3 cups unsweetened fresh or canned pumpkin puree (If using canned, strain in a fine mesh sieve for several hours to overnight, covered, in the fridge)
1 cup heavy cream (you can use evaporated milk, if you prefer)
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
2 eggs, lightly beaten
Pecan Pie Topping
1 cup mix of whole and coarsely chopped pecans
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/3 cup light or dark corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

  • MAKE AND PARBAKE PIE SHELL: 1. Place the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor fitted with the metal chopping blade and pulse on and off until combined. Scatter the butter pieces and the shortening, in large chunks, over the flour mixture. Pulse the machine on and off until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 6 tablespoons of the ice water and process until the mixture just starts to come together. If the dough seems dry, add the remaining 2 tablespoons water as necessary. Do not allow the dough to form a ball on the blade, or the resulting crust will be tough! You want a raggedy mess of crumbly dough, with lumps of butter showing. 2. Turn the dough out onto a work surface, divide it in half, and shape each half into a disk - gently pressing each raggedy mess together, (DO NOT press into each disk or try to squeeze it together so the dough is uniform - it will come together in the refrigerator). Wrap the disks separately in plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours. You will only need one disk for this recipe, so you can freeze the other disk for later use. 3. Lightly flour a large work surface. Allow the dough to soften at room temperature just until it is pliable (about 10 minutes). Place 1 disk on the floured surface and sprinkle some flour over it. Roll the dough from the center out in every direction, flouring the work surface as necessary to prevent sticking. You want a round of dough that's about 1/4 to 1/8 inch and about 3 inches greater in diameter than the pie pan/plate you are using. 4. Transfer the crust to a 9 1/2 to 10-inch deep-dish pie pan (if you don't use a deep-dish pan, there will be pumpkin filling left over, not to mention you run the risk of overflow) by rolling it loosely around the rolling pin and unrolling it carefully over the pan. Press the dough first into the bottom of the pan and then against the sides. Patch any holes or cracks with dough scraps. Trim the edges of the dough with scissors, leaving about 3/4 inch of overhang. Fold overhang over and crimp as you please. Place shell in the freezer and preheat oven to 400 degrees F. 5. When oven temperature is at 400 F, remove the pie shell from the freezer and line the pie crust with a large sheet of lightly buttered aluminum foil, buttered side down, covering the edge of the crust so that it doesn't get too brown. Fill the lined crust with pie weights, dried beans, or raw rice. Bake the pie crust for 15 minutes. Remove the weights and foil. Prick the bottom of the crust well with a fork and bake the crust for another 7 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden, but the crust is not fully baked. Cool the pie crust on a wire rack while you make the filling. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. DIRECTIONS FOR PIE: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Beat in 1/4 cup sugar, then add vanilla and 1 egg. Beat mixture until smooth. 2. Pour the cream cheese mixture into the bottom of the par baked pie shell, spread evenly, then freeze for about 15 -20 minutes. 3. In the mean time, in a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, heavy cream, the 2 lightly beaten eggs, vanilla extract, sugar, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice and salt. Mix thoroughly until uniform. 4. Remove the pie shell with cream cheese from the freezer and pour the pumpkin mixture on top of it. Freeze for 15 to 20 minutes. 5. Combine the eggs, sugars, melted butter, corn syrup, vanilla extraxt and salt in a bowl. Stir in pecans. Remove pie from freezer and carefully spoon the pecan layer over the pumpkin layer. 6. Place pie on the middle rack of your preheated oven. Cover edges of crust with aluminum foil or a pie crust shield if browning too quickly, but you will eventually have to cover it to prevent excess browning some time toward the end. Keep checking every 20 minutes. 7. Bake in 350 degree F oven for about 60 to 75 minutes (It really depends on your oven. In one oven I used, it took 75 minutes, in another, 60 - so keep checking for it to be sturdy, but still a tad jiggly in the middle). The the pecan pie topping should be dark and bubbling a bit. 7. IMPORTANT - Let cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for several hours before slicing and serving. Also, sometimes some of the cheesecake filling or pecan pie filling affects the color of the pumpkin filling. It may not look a beautiful, dark orange, but rather a yellowish color. No worries, still tastes awesome! 8. Drizzle with melted chocolate or chocolate ganache for extra decadence! *Alternate Pecan Pie Topping and Directions (this is the first recipe I played with..for a more crunchy than gooey topping) Pecan Pie Crunch Topping 1 1/4 cup mix of whole and coarsely chopped pecans 1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar 1/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar 2 tablespoons light or dark corn syrup 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 4 tablespoons melted butter Directions after Pumpkin Layer above - Step 7 7. After pie has been in oven for 50 - 60 minutes, remove from the oven and remove silver foil around edges of crust. Sprinkle pecan pie topping evenly over top - the pumpkin pie layer will sink a bit because the pecan goo is heavy, do not worry! Place back in the oven and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and the pecan pie topping is bubbly. Let cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for several hours before serving. 8. Drizzle with melted chocolate or chocolate ganache for extra decadence!

Tips:

  • To ensure a smooth cheesecake filling, make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing.
  • Use a springform pan to make it easier to remove the cheesecake from the pan.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath to prevent the top from cracking.
  • Let the cheesecake cool completely before refrigerating it. This will help it to set properly.
  • For a more intense pumpkin flavor, use homemade pumpkin puree.
  • If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own by combining ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves.
  • Garnish the cheesecake with whipped cream, pumpkin seeds, or chopped pecans before serving.

Conclusion:

This pumpkin pecan cheesecake pie is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The creamy cheesecake filling is perfectly complemented by the crunchy pecan crust and the sweet pumpkin flavor. Whether you're serving it for Thanksgiving dinner or just a special treat, this pie is sure to be a hit.
