  • 1 cup Pumpkin puree

  • 3 piece Large eggs
  • 1.5 tsp Pumpkin pie spice

  2. Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth, then add pumpkin puree, eggs one at a time, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  3. Pour the filling over the crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  4. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly when gently shaken.
