How to Make Pumpkin Cream Cheese Pie

  1. Prepare and roll out one 9-inch pie crust.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, beat together 8 ounces of cream cheese, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 large egg (lightly beaten) using an electric mixer on low to medium speed until smooth and creamy.
  3. Chill the cream cheese mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  4. Spoon the chilled cream cheese mixture into the prepared pie crust.
  5. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 15 ounces (1 1/2 cups) pumpkin puree, 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  6. Gently pour the pumpkin mixture over the cream cheese layer in the pie crust.
  7. To prevent over-browning, cover the edges of the pie crust with aluminum foil.
  8. Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 25 minutes.
  9. Remove the foil.
  10. Continue baking for an additional 25 minutes.
  11. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup pecan halves, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar, and 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) melted unsalted butter.
  12. Sprinkle the pecan mixture evenly over the top of the pie.
  13. Bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  14. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack for 1-2 hours.
  15. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
  16. Garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg before serving (optional).
