  • Customizable: Add your spin with different toppings or crusts.

Ingredients

  • 1 pre-made 9-inch graham cracker crust
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • Additional cinnamon for garnish

How to Make Pumpkin Cream Pie

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
  2. Add in the pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix until everything is well combined and creamy.
  3. Spread the pumpkin cream mixture evenly into the pre-made graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the pumpkin filling until combined.
  5. Spread the remaining whipped cream on top of the pie, creating a beautiful layer.
  6. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best flavor and texture.
  7. Before serving, sprinkle additional cinnamon on top for garnish.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure your cream cheese is softened for a smooth filling.
  • For a richer taste, use freshly grated nutmeg instead of ground.
  • Allow the pie to chill for at least 4 hours; overnight is even better, as it lets the flavors meld beautifully.

Easy Variations

  • Switch up the crust: Try using a traditional pie crust or a chocolate cookie crust for a different flavor profile.
  • Spice it up: Add a pinch of ginger or cloves for an extra kick.
  • Top with caramel: Drizzle caramel sauce over the whipped cream for a sweet twist.

What to Serve With It

  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast.
  • A hot cup of spiced chai or coffee to complement the flavors.
  • Fresh apple slices for a crunchy side.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover pumpkin cream pie in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days. It’s best enjoyed chilled and does not require reheating.
