Ingredients
- 1 (9″) pie crust, unbaked
- Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- Pumpkin Pie Filling:
- 15 oz pumpkin puree
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie pan. Cover and chill.
- In a mixing bowl, blend softened cream cheese and white sugar with an electric mixer for 2–3 minutes until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla and egg; mix until smooth, about 1–2 more minutes.
- Spread the cheesecake filling evenly into the chilled pie crust. Place in freezer to chill for 15 minutes while preparing the pumpkin filling.
- In a separate bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, brown sugar, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Add heavy cream and beat for 2–3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Gently spoon the pumpkin mixture over the chilled cheesecake layer. Smooth the top evenly.
- Place pie on a cookie sheet and bake at 400°F for 15 minutes. Then reduce the heat to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set with a slight jiggle.
- Remove from oven and cool at room temperature for 1 hour. Then refrigerate, covered, for at least 3–4 hours before slicing.
Notes
- To prevent cracks, avoid overbaking and don’t skip the chilling step.
- Top with whipped cream, candied pecans, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flair.
- Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
- Can be made a day in advance for easier prep during holidays.
