Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your delightful Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan and set aside.
2. Mix Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add Sugar: Gradually add granulated sugar, mixing until fully incorporated and fluffy.
4. Incorporate Pumpkin: Add the pumpkin puree to the cream cheese mixture, stirring until well blended.
5. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
6. Season: Add the vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and flour, stirring until fully combined.
7. Add Sour Cream: Gently fold in the sour cream until everything is thoroughly mixed.
8. Pour into Crust: Carefully pour the pumpkin cheesecake filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
9. Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. The filling should be set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
10. Cool Down: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours.
11. Chill: After cooling, refrigerate the pie for an additional 2 hours before serving to enhance its flavor and texture.
