Ingredients
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 2 large eggs + 1 egg yolk
- 1/4 cup (300 ml) heavy cream
- 1/4 cup (30 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Whipped cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat & Prepare Crust: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll and fit your pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp edges and chill in the fridge while preparing the filling.
- Mix Creamy Filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and brown sugar on high speed until light and fluffy (3–5 minutes).
- Add Eggs & Blend: Scrape the bowl, then beat in the 2 eggs and 1 yolk until smooth.
- Incorporate Spices & Cream: Reduce speed to low. Add heavy cream, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and salt. Mix until completely smooth and evenly combined.
- Fill Pie & Bake: Pour the cinnamon custard into the chilled crust. Bake 35 minutes, or until the center is slightly set but still jiggles. If needed, bake an additional 5 minutes.
- Cool & Chill: Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack. Cover with foil and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
- Serve: Dust with powdered sugar and optionally top with whipped cream. Slice and enjoy!
