recipe reviews for:

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 has been my family's favorite pumpkin pie recipe for about 10 years now. The cream cheese adds richness without making it seem like a cheesecake. Make sure your cream cheese and sugar are very smooth before adding the other ingredients. If it looks lumpy, your cream cheese was too cool and you should wait a little while, then remix. I like to add a quarter teaspoon of cardamom and about 1.5 tsps cinnamon, and I omit the nuts in the crust and add a half cup extra cookie crumbs instead, since my daughter is allergic to nuts. This pie is usually the favorite one on our Thanksgiving table! It tastes great with homemade maple syrup flavored whipped cream.

This recipe is super easy and a nice twist to the old pumpkin pie. It's a hit!

The recipe above only deserves 4 stars max BUT if you add at least 4 ounces more cream cheese and take away maybe 2-3 tablespoons of the pumpkin puree this recipe has 5 stars written all over it. With the above additions it's light, airy, flavorful, tasty. Be VERY careful not to over use the ginger in the crust mixture. Also don't be lazy, the crust mixture takes all of 5 minutes to make, it's much better than store bought. If you are going to go and follow a recipe, skipping out because you are lazy just takes away from the recipe and pride from the meal.

This was creamy and delicious! My family did not know it was pumpkin cheesecake until I told them-they all thought it was some "special" pie recipe and it was really really easy!

Fantastic!! It did require a bit more cooking time than the original recipe stated. Give it plenty of time to chill in refrigerator. Also, I just used pumpkin pie spice (2 teaspoons total) in place of the spices listed. At first my husband was disappointed that he was not going to get his traditional pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving, however his mood dramatically changed when he had a slice of this pie :)

This is a great recipe but i did make a few changes, i used 2 boxes of cream cheese (i wanted more of a cheesecake flavor) and used 1 1/2 tsp of pumpkin spice. You can of course use more or less to taste, it still had a great pumpkin taste to it and everyone loved it.

I used this recipe in 2 crust miniature pies, along with a homemade crust, not graham cracker though. The recipe worked perfect, this is both a delicious pumpkin pie, and cheesecake. Try this out if you haven't yet.

This is a hit at Thanksgiving and Christmas. I have made it three times already and have been asked for the recipe by all my friends. The only thing that was a issue was my stove is older and it needed two hours to cook.
