Cream Cheese Pumpkin Pie Recipe
  • Prep: 45 min. Bake: 40 min. + chilling
  • Yield: 8 Servings
45 40 85

Ingredients

  • 2 cups finely crushed pecan shortbread cookies
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • FILLING:
  • 2 packages (one 8 ounces, one 3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon each ground ginger, nutmeg and cloves
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • Whipped cream, optional

Directions

  • In a small bowl, combine the cookie crumbs, flour and butter; press into an ungreased 9-in. deep-dish pie plate. Bake at 350° for 9-11 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.
  • For filling, in a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in the pumpkin, flour, milk and spices. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined. Pour into crust.
  • Bake at 350° for 40-50 minutes or until center is almost set. Cover edges with foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning if necessary. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. Serve with whipped cream if desired. Yield: 8 servings.

This has a very good flavor and texture. The crust really adds a wonderful flavor

This was excellent and most people preferred this over the traditional Pumpkin pie. Make sure you use a deep dish pie plate and if you bake more than 1 at a time you may need to increase the baking time.

It was good.... But not a wow. Trying to be two things at once and felt like it wasn't great at either. Will make a pie or cheesecake next time. good flavor for the most part.

I'm making this recipe for a second time this year. My daughter needs gluten free recipes and I can use gluten free pecan cookies and a gluten free flour mixture in the crust. It came out great. The only drawback (which I found out the first time I made it) is that the package of gluten free cookies isn't quite enough for the crust, so I have to buy 2 boxes.

This is a tasty recipe but I did not feel it was worth the extra calories and fat. The taste wasn't much different from my regular pumpkin pie.

The pie was ok but nothing special.

Decided to try something new with the Thanksgiving pumpkin pie this year, so I tried this recipe. In the words of my 17-mo old grandson, "nyum, nyum!" I was a little bit concerned about the pecan cookie crust, when I bit into a cookie and threw it away cuz I didn't like it. My husband did the same thing. The cookie and the cookie crumb crust are two very different things. The crust was delish! The only thing different I did was add a couple of extra tablespoons of melted butter. The crust held up very well under the pie. The cream cheese in the pie made for a nice, smooth & firm texture. Everybody loved the pie. It's already on the menu for next year's Thanksgiving!

I made it dessert for Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone loved it even woithout the whipped cream. I would definately make it again.

I lightened up the calories by using low fat cream cheese and I used half of the sugar and half Splenda. I didn't tell anyone I did that and everyone loved the pie.
