Description

If you like pumpkin pie and cheesecake, this is this best of both worlds. My mother made this once, many years ago and I have been making them ever since. This recipe makes 2 - 9 inch pies.

Ingredients

3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
1 cup white sugar
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
6 eggs
1 cup pumpkin puree
2 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crusts

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C.)
2 In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Blend in sour cream, vanilla and spice. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Blend in pumpkin puree until no streaks remain. Pour filling into 2 crusts.
3 Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until filling is set. Allow to cool, then refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving.
