Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and if you’re the type who can’t get through the weekend without enjoying a slice or two of delicious pumpkin pie, Chef Janet Craig has nabbed this recipe from the Kraft website just for you.
This recipe offers the best of both worlds: it’s super easy to make but you still get to enjoy the ‘I made it myself’ bragging rights and taste its homemade goodness.
Crust
1-1/4 cups graham crumbs (or use a pre-formed graham crust from the supermarket)
1/3 cup butter, melted
Filling
1 pkg. (8 oz) brick cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp. ground cloves
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/2 cup whip cream
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix crumbs and butter. Press firmly onto bottom and up side of 9-inch pie plate.
2. Beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add eggs, pumpkin and spices; mix just until blended. Pour into crust.
3. Bake 40 min. or until centre is almost set. Cool. Refrigerate 3 hours or overnight. Cut into 8 slices. Top each slice with 1 Tbsp. of the whipped topping just before serving. Store leftover cheesecake in refrigerator. Freezes well.
