Description

Yossy Arefi was inspired by the classic PSL for her twist on a basic pumpkin pie recipe.

Ingredients

1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 large eggs
2 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 pinch salt
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon instant espresso powder
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Fit pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and place it on a baking sheet.
2 Combine pumpkin puree, condensed milk, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl; mix until combined. Pour into the pie crust, leaving a bit of room at the top.
3 Combine cream cheese, granulated sugar, espresso powder, egg yolk, vanilla, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl; whisk until combined and smooth.
4 Dollop the cream cheese mixture over the pumpkin pie filling then use a toothpick or thin knife to swirl the cream cheese into the pumpkin.
5 Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue to bake until filling is set, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven, set on a wire rack, and cool completely before serving.
