Like others, I added a little vanilla and almond extract. Before making a thumbprint, I rolled the balls in coconut. I used blackberry and apricot preserves. They came out delicious!

This was delicious. Like others, I used MUCH less oil and butter.. probably 1/4 cup oil and 4-5 Tb of butter. I can NOT imagine using 2 STICKS of butter! I omitted the mushrooms because I didn't have them, but I used a little more asparagus and shrimp. I used spaghetti instead of egg noodles, used my mother-in-law's homemade grated cheese, and added just a touch more lemon juice. Tasted great.. even my picky husband thought so.

I made this for Thanksgiving and it was a hit! This is replacing regular pumpkin pie at our Thanksgiving dinner from now on. I took other people's advice and increased the cream cheese and pumpkin, but in the end it didn't all fit into the store-bought graham cracker crust, so it was a waste. Next time I'll just follow the recipe as written. FYI, I gave this recipe to my sister-in-law, and she said she used the reduced fat cream cheese and it worked fine.
