Layered Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie

This post is sponsored on behalf of #PumpkinWeek. Our generous sponsors Dixie Crystals, Sweets & Treats, Torani and Cabot Cheeses have provided us with products for recipe creation and a giveaway for our readers. As always, all opinions are my own.
My recipe of the day is for layered pumpkin cheesecake pie, which has layers of cheesecake with pumpkin cheesecake and a sweet sour cream topping inside a flaky pastry crust, as part of #PumpkinWeek, which is a sponsored blogger event with lots of fun, recipes, and a giveaway.
For this recipe I utilized two types of sugars from Dixie Crystals, as well as the Puremade Pumpkin Pie sauce from Torani to drizzle on top.
I have been meaning to make a layered pumpkin pie with cheesecake for a couple of years now, and just haven’t actually got time to do it until this time.
It is something I have considered making for Thanksgiving Day a number of times, when I am looking for something more, or other than, the usual pumpkin pie. I know at larger gatherings, there is usually a desire for variety on the dessert table. As it provides something to please everyone, or everything to please that one person (who simply must try a portion of each one) and who can blame them when the desserts are so good?
I love the look of the layers in there, and although the bottom layer of cheesecake seems thin, it has a full punch of flavor. The pumpkin on top of that has cheesecake mixed in, but the texture is much lighter, like pumpkin pie. Finally the sour cream layer on top provides the perfect finish along with the sweetness of the Pumpkin Pie Sauce.

We believe in flavor for all and opportunity for all. In the beginning, Rinaldo and Ezilda Torre visited family in Lucca, Italy.

It means that not only are the products we make inclusive and approachable, but so is our success. We believe everything starts with people, and the only way to truly succeed is to succeed together.

This is the pie once it has chilled and been removed from the springform. I keep it on the metal plate and just place that on a serving platter. Since the platter you see is a keepsake depression glass plate I wouldn’t want to store the pie on this. And the plate will easily slide right off there to pop the leftovers (I know, right? How can there be any?) into a pie keeper as this needs to be kept in the fridge, obviously.

Here I tried to get in there so you can see the layers.

Layered Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie
Equipment
- Springform pan
Ingredients
Cheesecake Layer:
- 16 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup Dixie Crystals granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
Pumpkin Layer:
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree not pie mix
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Other Ingredients:
- 1 (9-inch) prepared pie crust
- 3 tablespoons Dixie Crystals confectioner's sugar sifted
- 1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- Torani Pumpkin Pie Puremade Sauce optional, to drizzle over as a garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325F.
- Mix together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract and eggs until smooth.
- Fit the pie crust into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, then par bake ten minutes in the preheated oven and cool.
- Spread one cup of the cheesecake filling over the bottom.
- To the remaining filling, stir in the canned pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg.
- Spooning lightly, spread the pumpkin layer over the bottom layer of cheesecake.
- Bake pie for 45 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes.
- While the pie is cooling, whisk together the sifted powdered sugar with the vanilla and sour cream until smooth.
- Spoon lightly over the cheesecake and spread evenly, then return the pan to the oven for ten minutes.
- Turn the oven off and prop the oven door open about an inch (I prop a wooden spoon) and let the oven and pie cool down naturally for one hour.
- Remove the pie from the oven and cool further on a wire rack another hour.
- Chill pie at this point for several hours or overnight to firm up.
- Slice a knife around the edge of the crust if needed and release from the pan.
- Cut the pie with a wet knife dipped in hot water.
- Drizzle with Pumpkin Pie Puremade sauce if desired and serve with a dallop of whipped cream.
