This was really good and oh so easy! I did use the full fat and sugar as we're not watching our calories and I don't care for sugar free... Dh says he prefers the traditional pumpkin pie, but I like that I can have a nice dessert on the table with less than 30min worth of work! I think I might add allspice and clove next time and increase the cream cheese.

This was made for the Aussie/New Zealand recipe swap! A wonderful recipe. Thanks for sharing! The kids loved it - I loved the batter! One pie didn't get to sit for the 4 hours in the fridge - it HAD to be eaten right away. This recipe is a keeper! So fast and easy to make. :)

This has been a favorite in my family ever sense we first learned about it about 4 years ago at a diner that makes them during the holidays. I probably make 3-4 of these every Christmas and Thanksgiving. They never last that long around my family. Who can really blame them though? This pie is just irresistable. Thanks for posting. :)

I loved this pie and ate a slice every day. I love pumpkin. I made most of this myself. I love pie.

This is a five star recipe for me because we do not like lite or nonfat or sugar-free and this was awesome for having all those ingredients. We did have the original pie by Kraft Foods and there is a taste difference. While this does not taste like the full-fat version it is a wonderful pie for those counting calories and want something to satisfy a sweet craving. Great adaptation Mike!
