Ingredients

• 1.75 cups Unsweetened pumpkin puree
• 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 9-inch crust Premade pie crust
• 1 batch Optional whipped cream for serving

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and salt until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate smaller bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer or whisk until the mixture is creamy and smooth.

Step 4

Gently roll out the premade pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges and crimp or flute the edges decoratively if desired.

Step 5

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. This will create the 'surprise' layer when the pie is sliced.

Step 6

Pour the pumpkin mixture over the cream cheese layer, ensuring the filling is evenly distributed.

Step 7

Carefully transfer the pie to the preheated oven. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 35 minutes or until the filling is set in the center and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. This will help the layers set properly.

Step 9

Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours before serving to ensure that the cream cheese layer firms up.

Step 10

Slice and serve with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy the surprise in every bite!
