Filling Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream or Cool Whip
Crust
- 1 prepared 9-inch graham cracker crust
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Press the prepared graham cracker crust firmly into a 9-inch pie dish. If homemade, chill it in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
- Mix cream cheese and sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with both sugars until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain for a silky filling.
- Add pumpkin and spices: Blend in the pumpkin puree, then sprinkle in cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Stir well until the spices are evenly incorporated, creating that classic pumpkin pie flavor.
- Fold in whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream or Cool Whip into the pumpkin mixture to maintain a light, airy, mousse-like texture.
- Assemble and chill: Pour the filling into the crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until set and firm.
Notes
- Choose full-fat cream cheese for the best texture and flavor.
- Gently fold whipped cream to keep the filling light and airy.
- Ensure adequate chilling time for the pie to firm up properly.
- Adjust spices to taste to balance warmth and sweetness.
- Use a sharp knife warmed in hot water and wiped between slices for clean cuts.
