How to Make Pumpkin Cheese Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. **Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer:** In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces (225g) of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg until well combined.
  4. Pour the cream cheese mixture into your prepared pie crust and spread evenly.
  5. **Prepare the Pumpkin Layer:** In a separate large bowl, whisk together 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk, 2 large eggs, 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  6. Gently pour the pumpkin mixture over the cream cheese layer.
  7. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any spills.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. The center may still jiggle slightly.
  9. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set.
  10. Serve chilled. Top with whipped cream, if desired.
