Vegetables Recipe ♯ Pumpkin Cheese Swirled Pie

This pumpkin pie is swirled with cream cheese to give it a marbled appearance. It's a fancy but easy way to enjoy an old favorite.

Ingredients

• 1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup light corn syrup
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup pumpkin
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup evaporated milk
• ¼ cup light corn syrup
• ¼ cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
• ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 (9 inch) unbaked deep dish pie crust

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2. Beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually mix in 1/4 cup light corn syrup and vanilla extract, blending until smooth.
3. In a medium bowl, mix the pumpkin, eggs, evaporated milk, 1/4 cup light corn syrup, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger and salt. Beat the mixture until smooth.
4. Place pie crust on a medium baking sheet and fill with the pumpkin mixture. Drop the cream cheese by rounded tablespoonfuls onto the pumpkin mixture. Using a knife, swirl the mixtures, creating a marbled effect.
5. Bake 50 to 60 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
