Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie

“ Both the crust and the filling are super in this delicious pie. The crust is a tasty crumble of graham cracker, pecan and ginger. This lovely mixture is pressed into a 9-inch pie tin, and filled with a scrumptious pumpkin pie filling boasting cream cheese, brown sugar, cream, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. The pie is then baked and garnished with whipped cream and pecan halves.”

This is very good. While I agree it is not a traditional cheesecake, it is a nice twist on pumpkin pie. I made it in a 8x8 glass cake pan and it turned out good. Baked it for about 50 minutes. It is very light and creamy. I might try it with more cream cheese next time, just to see what happens. Update: I made this again for Thanksgiving 2010 and really loved it. I did not add the extra cream cheese, but I added a few more pecans to the crust and still cooked it for 50 minutes. Excellent! A keeper. Another update: made this for Thanksgiving 2011 and didnt have heavy cream, so I used half-n-half and it worked fine. Very creamy!

Love this recipe! It has a "to die for" crust. It's a Thanksgiving tradition at our house. Thank you Carolyn!

I made this for my family and it was a hit. I used a ready made graham cracker crust. The next time I will add some extra cream cheese for more of a cheesecake flavor. All in all, a very good recipe.

Easy to make and yummy. I will however add 1/2 pkg more cheese next time. As well, I used a traditional 9" store bought crust to save time and money. And just a hint... If you lightly whip the filling before adding the spices, the filling becomes ultra fluffy and the recipe will yield 3 pies...All the more to eat my dear!

Mmmmm... I could tell that this pie was going to be delicious after I taste-tested the batter. I brought the pie to a pre-Thanksgiving potluck and it was a huge hit with everyone, especially compared to the straight-up pumpkin pies with their overwhelming pumpkin spice flavors. Fresh whipped cream garnish is a must!

LOVE this recipe!!!! I made a couple of small changes, however. I topped the pie with chopped pecans before baking and served it warm as a side dish. That may sound strange, but this pie is not as sweet as regular pies. I would not use this as a cold, whipped cream topped kind of thing, but as a warm dish, it was AMAZING! Lots have asked for the recipe. Thanks!

hello humans. this is one of my favorite recipes from this site. i don't like cheesecake very much and i love this recipe. i've made this for people that aren't crazy about pumpkin pie and they love it. it's good enough that it really doesn't need the whipped cream on top. other than that, you can't go wrong with this recipe. the only downside to it so far have been the whole humans with their "when are you making that again?" in their annoying human voices. end transmission.

My family doesn't care for pumpkin pie but loved this smooth, creamy version of it. I made a gingersnap crumb crust rather than the crust in the recipe, and added another half package of cream cheese to the filling. I may try using two full packages the next time I make it. Unlike a cheesecake, you don't really taste the cream cheese, but I'm sure that's what makes this pie a cut above the traditional pumpkin pie. It was absolutely delicious, and everyone was disappointed when it was gone. I found it took a few extra minutes to bake. The center was still a bit wobbly when I removed the pie from the oven, but firmed up after it had cooled.

I absolutely loved this pie. It was my first time making a pumpking pie and it came out delicious and fluffy. My best friend tried it and asked for the recipe. She said it was the best pumpkin pie she had ever had. I used a store bought crust so, it was real easy. Thanks Carolyn!

I made this for a girl's get-together and everyone loved it. Had a bit of a disaster as in Tokyo brown sugar had clumps in them (sometimes the size of a dime) and since I was making it at night, I didn't have time to declump the sugar with a rolling pin. As a result, my pie came out a little lumpy (as you can see from the photo). But it hardly affected the taste and everyone raved about the crust. I did find the filling to be too much for a 9" pie plate so maybe next time I will make it in a 10" tart pan. (I made the extra filling into crustless pies in mini souffle pans).
