Sensational Cheesecake Double Layer Pumpkin Pie
What is Thanksgiving without some sort of a pumpkin dessert? And what is giving thanks really all about? For us it’s about neighborly love. So why not combine the two and give pumpkin desserts to neighbors, just because it’s the season! Here is an easy recipe for Sensational Double Layer Pumpkin Pie which Kristi’s family has dubbed “Pumpkin Cheesecake Ecstasy.” Yes, it’s THAT good. She only makes it on Thanksgiving and it is so worth the wait all year to enjoy it! This year we’ll be delivering some to our neighbors, hopefully they’ll be thankful they live next to us (;
Here is the recipe you won’t want to lose!
Ingredients:
- 1 pkg. softened cream cheese
- 1 TBSP. half & half
- 1 TBSP. sugar
- 1 1/2 c. Cool Whip (save the rest for the top layer)
