This pumpkin pie was AWESOME! I loved the cream cheese layer and the pumpkin layer, and they were great together! I did vary the crust. I had some leftover brownies that I did not want to throw away so I made them into crumbs and made a brownie crumb crust for the pie. It got rave reviews from my guests and my DH and I both enjoyed it too!!Reply

Made this pie just yesterday for Thanksgiving...it was AMAZING!!Both Hubby and I loved it!The cream cheese layer was as close to a "cheesecake"type of pie that one can get! As I was making it...tasting as I went...mixing together..I could tell right away that for our personal taste It needed more sugar in both mixes-say 1/3cup in ea mix- I also had to add more spices as I felt the cream cheese layer was rich and the spices wouldnt really come through.I added 1 tspn more cinnamon,1/4 tspn ground cloves,1/8 tspn ground cardamon,and I used mace instead of nutmeg as thats what I had-so a good dash more of that.My pie took longer to cook as well-maybe due to the extra sugar?Any way it was a tad more then an hour to cook.In the end...THE only pumpkin pie I think will be made for holidays now!Thanks you so very much for a nice pie thats different yet still says turkey day!Reply
