Pumpkin Cream Cheese Pie

Pie season is here and this easy and foolproof pumpkin cream cheese pie is a dessert mashup of dreams - rich and smooth pumpkin cheesecake mixed with traditional pumpkin pie.

💡 Expert Tip: To make this easy pumpkin cream cheese pie even easier, you can use a premade pie crust, although I always recommend baking your own for the best flavor!

If making your own pie crust, prepare the ingredients. Make sure that both the butter and water are cold. 

01

Rub the cold butter-salt-flour mixture between your fingers. Leave some bigger butter chunks in it. Add cold water and work it with your hands until it comes together. Form a disc, wrap it in cling film and chill it before rolling out and blind baking.

02

Prepare the ingredients for the pumpkin cream cheese filling .

04

Mix everything with a hand whisk until smooth, then pour into the pre-baked pie crust. Cover the side of the crust with aluminum foil so it won´t burn.

Pipe cream cheese filling all around the pumpkin filling. For the marble effect, grab eg. a chopstick and gently swirl the cream cheese mixture into the pumpkin pie filling

06

Bake the pie at 350F / 177C (no fan) for 50 minutes. The pie is ready when the side of the filling is well-baked and the middle is still slightly jiggly.

Let the pie set for 4 hours refrigerated before decorating and cutting. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 days in an air-tight container.
