Ingredients
1 (15 oz) can pure pumpkin
8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
4 tbsp melted unsalted butter
1 tbsp vanilla extract
4 large eggs
3 cups powdered sugar
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice or nutmeg
½ tsp salt
1 deep-dish 9-inch pie crust
1 cup heavy cream (optional for whipped topping)
2 tbsp powdered sugar
Instructions
1. Roll out crust and press into a deep-dish 9-inch pie pan, crimping the edges. Chill in fridge.
2. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until fluffy.
3. Add pumpkin, butter, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
5. Stir in powdered sugar, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
6. Pour filling into crust. Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes.
7. Reduce heat to 350°F and bake 42–48 minutes more.
8. Let cool at room temp for 1 hour, then chill in fridge for at least 4 hours before slicing.
9. Top with whipped cream if desired.
Notes
To prevent crust from browning too fast, gently tent with foil halfway through baking.
Make sure cream cheese is very soft for best texture.
You can reduce sugar to 2½ cups for a less sweet pie.
