I love this recipe. I've made is several times and always get praise. I don't really change very much, except I alsdo add 1/4 tsp of pumpkin pie spice, and I finely chop the pecans (I think this makes the top layer ever better). The pumpkin part is too much to fill the pie shell, so I usually fill two small ramakins with whats left.

I liked this pie. Looks very nice when finished. The amount of filling requires a deep dish pie pan. For the pumpkin layer, I scalded milk on the stove and spiced the milk (to infuse the spice) instead of using evaporated milk. Then I added the eggs to the milk and made a light custard before adding the pumpkin. For the cream cheese layer, I whipped the cheese with lots of sugar and then folded in the beaten egg (whipping the egg with the cheese can overdue the egg). I poured the cream cheese into the pan crust and let the cheese layer set a little before adding the pumpkin layer. Since the pie is so thick, I needed to tent the top with foil near the end of the bake (to get the filling to bake completely without cracking/burning the top). For the topping, I creamed the butter with the sugar and added some maple syrup for taste.

Lots of work for a product that was not as good as plain pumpkin pie.

I really love this pie. There were a few glitches with it, but with the help of some of your reviews it came out great. This will replace my ordinary pumpkin pie at holiday.:)

The BEST pumpkin pie I've had in a really really long time. I made this for Thanksgiving and took it to a friends house, and then for Christmas I took this recipe home to my sister and she loved it! Neither of are cooks or bakers but it was so easy and we started mixing matching with different pie crusts in no time. Definite family hit. THANKS!

I'll make browns family favorite next time. This was ok. I was expecting the cream cheese bottom to be like cheesecake, but it was more like custard. The strusel topping liquified overnight, so the top was wet. All around, it tasted ok, the consistency was good and it was pretty when you cut it, but otherwise unimpressive.

Made this for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it! Left off the pecan layer (since we already had pecan pie) and it was fabulous. Not too sweet, great pumpkin flavor. Took another reviewer's suggestion and froze the cheesecake layer for approx. 30 min before pouring the pumpkin mixture on top. Wonderful!

This was just ok. I made several different pumpkin pie recipes for Thanksgiving this year all from this site. Everyone agreed that this was good, definately not a bad pie, but was the least favorite of the ones I made. The one that everyone raved about was the Brown Family's Favorite Pumpkin Pie recipe from this site.

This is the best pumpkin pie we ever had! Everyone in my family loved it. It was so good my husband was braging about it to evryone and my father in law called me asking me to make them one too because he heared it was so delicious. I made my own grham cracker crust and pre baked it. I feared it would be too hard by the time the pie was done baking, but it was perfect and kept the nice crunch for a couple of days (we finished if by the second day). I put the pie in the refrigeratore before adding the pumpkin filling, so the cheese cake will harden and won't float up. I would definitly make this one again and again

delicious, but the cheese layer floated to the top. i used fresh pureed pumpkin and it was quite thin and maybe was the cause.

This was a fun pie to make. I used a extra -serving graham cracker crust(pre-made) . I can see how you could easily make 2 pies with this recipe if you were using a regular crust. I love the taste of graham cracker with cheese cake, so I substituted that in place of a regular pie crust. I also added a little more sugar to the cream cheese mixture. The pie turn out beautifully. The topping could easily be cut in half. I would recommend shortening the broiling for the topping. I almost burned mine after 1 1/2 minutes. Keep a close eye on it! I put it in the refrigerator to chill after cooling. I think you will be impressed with the taste and presentation of this yummy pie. It has a gourmet appeal to it when completed and it really doesn't take a lot of effort. Thanks for sharing such a special recipe.

This was delicious. I used a graham cracker crust as another reviewer suggested. My condensed milk had gone bad, so I was forced to use sweetened condensed milk (and so I didn't add sugar into the pumpkin mix). The topping was delicious. This is a keeper.

I made this for Thanksgiving. It got mixed reviews. My husband and mom liked it. I didn't care for it. The cream cheese portion wasn't sweet enough for me. My husband suggested it may be better on a graham cracker crust. We omitted pecan topping because no one likes them in our family.

I made this for the first time several years ago, and it's now a staple on our holiday table. I will be making it this year with a sugar substitute for the diabetics in our family - they are always missing out on the "fun" foods and I find that Splenda works well in custards and cheesecakes.
