Cheesecake Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin is fair game for me year around. My family LOVES pumpkin. We eat Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal all year long, and yes, I do mean in the spring and summer too.

Pumpkin Oatmeal is one of my youngest son’s favorite breakfasts, so pretty much any time I open a can of pumpkin, he’s likely to ask if there will be any pumpkin leftover to make oatmeal.

I’ve made a double layer pumpkin pie each Thanksgiving for years. That pie is frequently requested and it is always a hit. However, this recipe just knocked that pie off the table.

This recipe takes two of life’s best things, cheesecake and pumpkin pie, and combines them to create a pumpkin lover’s dessert experience that’s unlike any I’ve had before.

I’ve always loved pumpkin-flavored cheesecake too and realized recently there was a way to enjoy pumpkin cheesecake I’d never thought of before: simple vanilla cheesecake layered with spiced pumpkin pie filling all baked in a delicious crust.

One of my favorite things about cheesecake is the graham cracker crust. Making your own graham cracker crust for a cheesecake or pie is so much easier than many people think and the taste is phenomenal.

All it takes to make a homemade graham cracker crust is a good amount of crushed graham cracker crumbs mixed with melted butter and light brown sugar then pressed into a pie plate and baked.

The sweet buttery crust is the perfect vehicle for the layers of rich pumpkin pie filling and creamy cheesecake layer.

Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie

I can’t believe I never tried layering pumpkin pie and cheesecake filling before. Cream cheese and pumpkin are a terrific match! The two textures and flavors complement each other so well.

The cream cheese layer is nothing more than cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla all mixed together in sweet perfection. As a bonus, this cream cheese base is a fantastic starting point for any cheesecake variations you want to try. You could even simply top the cream cheese layer with fresh fruit, spread it into your graham cracker crust, and call it a day.

In this recipe, though, we amp things up a little by adding layers of delicious pumpkin-y goodness to the cheesecake.

A basic blend of pumpkin puree and spices comes together to make the pumpkin later. I used my Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice blend and can’t recommend it enough.

The two fillings get layered together on top of the prepared graham cracker crust and baked until set. After removing from the oven, chill the pie in the fridge for several hours or even overnight.

Cheesecake Pumpkin Pie Recipe

Kitchen Tip: I use this pie plate to make this recipe.

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Stir together the crust ingredients and press into 2 pie pans. Beat the cream cheese and sugar together with a mixer until smooth. Add the vanilla and the eggs and beat again.
  2. Pour ⅓ of this mixture over each pie crust. (This was approximately 1⅓ cups of the filling into each crust.) Stir the pumpkin puree and the spices into the remaining filling and beat until well combined. Divide the pumpkin mixture evenly between the two pies and use a spatula to smooth it across the cheesecake layer.
  3. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the center looks almost set. A knife inserted should come out mostly clean. Cool at room temperature and then refrigerate for 2-3 hours or overnight. Top with whipped cream, just before serving. Enjoy!

      This can be made in an 8, 9, or 10 inch pie pan. The thickness of the pie will be slightly different for the different sizes.

    Sounds great, but what do I do with the other 1/3 of the cheesecake mixture? the instructions say add 1/3 to each pie? If I only need 2/3–can I leave out the third block of cream cheese?

  2. Sarah L. says

    I made this recipe last year for thanksgiving. Everyone agreed, these pies were the favorite part of the meal! So easy and delicious! It was the first thing asked for when this years menu was brought up in conversation.5 stars

  3. Kaite says

    I want to make this for thanksgiving but was wondering can I use Libby’s pumpkin pie filling for the pumpkin layer? If so would I add in the evaporated milk & eggs or just use the filling? Anyone know? Thanks! 😊
