Spiced Pumpkin Pie with Cream Cheese

By Diana Rattray, About.com

Pumpkin pie recipe with cream cheese, brown sugar, cinnamon and other spices.

Cook Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup pumpkin purée*, or canned pumpkin
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 unbaked pastry shell, unbaked

Preparation:

In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt; beat well. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in the pumpkin, milk, and vanilla. Pour into the unbaked pastry shell. Bake at 375° for 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. Chill before serving. Serve with whipped cream and a grating of fresh nutmeg, if desired.

*To make pumpkin purée, cut pumpkin in half, crosswise. Remove seeds and membranes. Place on a greased baking sheet, cut side down, and bake at 325° for 1 hour, or until tender. Cool for 10 minutes. Remove pulp and place in blender or processor. Purée or process until smooth. Place in a cheesecloth-lined mesh strainer or sieve and let drain into a bowl for about an hour. When dripping has stopped, put purée into a container, cover, and refrigerate if not using right away.
