Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 3 tablespoons Ice water
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.75 cups Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1 optional Whipped cream (for serving)
- 1 optional pinch Ground cinnamon (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and, using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Form it into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
On a floured surface, roll out the chilled pie dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the edges. Trim any excess dough and flute the edges if desired.
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and brown sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the cinnamon, nutmeg, heavy cream, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed in the center. If the outer crust starts to brown too quickly, cover it with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing.
Slice and serve the pie with a dollop of whipped cream and a tiny sprinkle of ground cinnamon, if desired.
