Pumpkin Cream Cheese Pie
The pumpkin pie top filling is hiding a surprise cheesecake layer, so you get the best of both worlds! Use a crumb pie crust or a purchased or homemade pastry crust for this pie.
by Diana Rattray
This pumpkin pie combines a perfectly spiced pumpkin filling with a yummy sweetened cream cheese layer. Use my favorite homemade pastry or a purchased frozen or refrigerated pie crust for the pie. It can also be baked in a graham cracker or cookie crumb crust. With its two delicious layers, this pie offers the best of both worlds!
