More About This Recipe

  • Looking for a way to jazz up your Thanksgiving dessert table, without piling too much on your plate? Have we got the pie for you! This cream cheese-pumpkin pie features beautiful swirls of cream cheese, which adds a subtle richness and tang that contrasts the sweet flavor of pumpkin. And as much as we love the well-balanced flavor and pretty presentation of this pie, our favorite thing about it might just be the fact that it can be made the day before! Just keep these two tips in mind, it’s very important to used canned pumpkin, instead of pumpkin pie filling. Plain canned pumpkin allows you to personalize the flavor of your pie filling, whereas, canned pumpkin pie filling already has the sugar and spices mixed in. Make sure to follow the instructions closely when making the cream cheese swirl. If you forget to add milk to the cream cheese mixture, it will make the mixture stiff and you’ll have a harder time creating the swirl effect. Want a few more helpful tips before you tackle this pie?
