Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.75 cups Unsweetened pumpkin puree
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 9-inch crust Premade pie crust
- 1 batch Optional whipped cream for serving
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and salt until smooth. Set aside.
In a separate smaller bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer or whisk until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
Gently roll out the premade pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges and crimp or flute the edges decoratively if desired.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. This will create the 'surprise' layer when the pie is sliced.
Pour the pumpkin mixture over the cream cheese layer, ensuring the filling is evenly distributed.
Carefully transfer the pie to the preheated oven. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 35 minutes or until the filling is set in the center and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. This will help the layers set properly.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours before serving to ensure that the cream cheese layer firms up.
Slice and serve with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy the surprise in every bite!
