Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie – Recipe Of The Day

I've been obsessed with any type of pumpkin flavored foods lately, so I figured this latest pumpkin cheesecake pie recipe was appropriate to share.

Ingredients:

2 cups finely crushed pecan shortbread cookies

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

3 tablespoons butter, melted

Filling:

2 packages (one 8 ounces, one 3 ounces) cream cheese, softened

1 cup sugar

1 can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon milk

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon each ground ginger, nutmeg and cloves

3 eggs, lightly beaten

Whipped cream, optional

In a small bowl, combine the cookie crumbs, flour and butter; press into an ungreased 9-in. deep-dish pie plate. Bake at 350° for 9-11 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.

For filling, in a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in the pumpkin, flour, milk and spices. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined. Pour into crust.

Bake at 350° for 40-50 minutes or until center is almost set. Cover edges with foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning if necessary. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. Serve with whipped cream if desired. Yield: 8 servings.

Enjoy the pie and we hope to see you at Taste of Home tomorrow!
