Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie combines the rich, creamy flavor of pumpkin cheesecake with a spiced Biscoff cookie crust, perfect for autumn celebrations.
Ingredients
Scale
- 32 Biscoff cookies
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 16 ounces full fat brick cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree (canned)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- Small pinch freshly ground black pepper (optional)
- 2 large eggs
- Optional for garnish: whipped cream, pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Grind the 32 Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs, mix with melted butter, and press into a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 10 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add brown sugar, pumpkin puree, cornstarch, heavy cream, vanilla extract, lemon juice, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cardamom, and black pepper (if using). Mix until smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition. Do not overmix.
- Lower the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C). Pour the filling into the baked crust and spread evenly. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the sides are set and the center jiggles slightly.
- Let the pie cool at room temperature for 1 hour. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps.
- Allow the pie to chill for at least 2 hours to set properly.
- Optional: Add a chocolate ganache layer or chopped nuts for variation.
- If using homemade pumpkin puree, ensure it is fully drained of excess water for a smooth filling.
