Submitted by plainjanes

"This is a take on a restaurant (famous for a farmhouse) seasonal favorite pumpkin pie, with a layer of cheesecake in the middle; just supreme! Gets rave reviews by family and friends!"

 

• Ready In: 1hr 5mins
• Ingredients: 12
• Yields: 1 pie
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 9 inches deep dish pie shells
• 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
• 1⁄2 cup white sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 eggs, divided
• 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin, divided
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
• 1⁄8 teaspoon ground cloves
• 3⁄8 teaspoon ground nutmeg, divided
• 1⁄4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

directions

1. Prepare your ingredients.
2. Set out the cream cheese well in advance. Cream cheese should be at room temperature before use to avoid lumps in your cheesecake.
3. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
4. Prepare the pumpkin pie batter.
5. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup pumpkin (minus 1/2 cup reserved for final layer), 1/2 can (approximately 1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp.) sweetened condensed milk, 1 egg, 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoons ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoons ground ginger and 1/4 teaspoons salt until smooth. Pour pumpkin pie batter in pie crust.
6. Prepare the plain cheesecake batter.
7. In a second mixing bowl, combine both packages of room temperature cream cheese, 1/2 cup white sugar and 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract using a hand mixer. Blend until the mixture is smooth. Add 2 eggs, one at a time, blending thoroughly after each addition. Remove 1 cup of the plain cheesecake batter and spread gently on top of the pumpkin pie batter.
8. Prepare the pumpkin cheesecake batter.
9. Add reserved 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree, 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoons ground cloves, and 1/8 teaspoons ground nutmeg to the remaining plain cheesecake batter. Stir gently until well blended. Pour pumpkin cheesecake batter gently over cheesecake batter.
10. Bake for 10 minutes, then lower the oven to 350 and continue to bake for 20 minutes. Lower the oven to 300 and continue to bake for 15 to 20 minutes, making sure the outer edge doesn’t brown too much. The center should still be soft with the edges firmer. The center will firm up as it cools off. Allow the cheesecake to cool completely, and then place it in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours before serving.

I made the pie x2 tonight and it has a problem. It's not sweet enough. Simply put the 1/2 cup of sugar for the cheesecake part of the recipe is REALLY not enough. As a result the pie is way too tart. Take my advice and skip this recipe. It's not acceptable. If you do decide to make it I'd strongly suggest you double the white sugar in the cheesecake half. Normally I'd give our condo workers baked goods I don't care for, but this one is going in the trash. I hate tossing out 2 pies, but I have no choice. Oh well.

there is an error in the recipe, the addition of the second half of the sweetened condensed milk is not in the directions. I added to the top portion. I hope it turns out.

It's rare that I make anything with so few reviews, but I tried this because it matched my ingredients I had. I had to use canned yams but recipe worked great. I was worried I would have more of a "swirl" instead of layers because the cheesecake batters were thicker than the bottom layer and I just was layering as best I could. To my surprise, the end result produced perfect layers! Tip- using yams, I had to mash and put in the blender for the first layer. I also had to press through a strainer for cheesecake part after I added the yams because of chunks. ( my ingredient mishap) . It cracked as it cooled so I also mixed 1 cup sour cream and 3 TBSP sugar and 1 tsp vanilla and sprinkled with cinnamon, spread it on top and put in 350 for another 10 min. I was worried it would be dry at this point but it was SOOO good! I will make it again for sure!
