How to Make Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie
- Heat oven to 350ºF. Place pie crust on baking sheet. Pie crust should be thawed, yet chilled before baking for best results. Using a fork, poke the bottom of the crust 6-8 times, set aside.
- In small bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar on low speed until well blended. Add egg; beat well. Set aside.
- In large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, spices, salt and heavy cream together until combined. Pour some of the pumpkin mixture into pie crust.
- Carefully dollop cream cheese mixture on top of pumpkin mixture and keep dolloping both on top of each other, alternating both. When you've finished adding the cream cheese mixture and pumpkin mixture to the pie pan, simply swirl the mixture around with the tip of a knife to get pretty swirls.
- Bake on baking sheet 50 to 60 minutes or until set and knife inserted near center comes out clean.
- If pie crust is browning too much, Cover edges of crust with 2 to 3 inch strips of foil to prevent excessive browning; remove foil last 15 minutes of baking.
- Cool 30 minutes. Refrigerate until chilled, 3 to 4 hours.
- Serve pie with sweetened whipped cream. Store leftovers, covered in refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Pumpkin Cheesecake Swirling Tips
Don’t over-swirl your batters too much. To get a beautiful marbled result, make sure to only swirl the pumpkin and cream cheese batter a few times. If you mix it too much, the marbling effect will be lost and it will just look like a classic pumpkin pie.
If You Don’t Have Pumpkin Pie Spice
All you need is
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Storing and Freezing Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie
- Refrigerator - Use tin foil or plastic wrap to place on top of the pie to cover it and place it in the refrigerator. This pumpkin cheesecake pie will stay fresh for 3-4 days in the fridge.
- Freezer - Allow the pie to cool completely. Then freeze the whole pie, or cut it and freeze the slices wrapping in parchment, tinfoil and plastic wrap or a sealed container.
This is the perfect holiday dessert. Fall-inspired, it makes the house smell amazing, and will have your dinner guests giddy with delight.
