Sensational Double-Layer Pumpkin Pie

Sensational Double Layer Pumpkin Pie

4        oz. cream cheese, softened

1         T. milk or half and half

1         T. sugar

1½      C. thawed whipped topping

1         graham cracker pie crust

1         C. cold milk or half and half

2        pkg. (4oz serving size) vanilla flavor instant pudding & pie filling

1         can (16-oz.) pumpkin

1         t. ground cinnamon

½        t. ground ginger

¼        t. ground cloves

Mix cream cheese, milk and sugar in large bowl with wire whisk until smooth.  Gently stir in whipped topping.  Spread on bottom of crust.

Pour 1 cup milk into bowl.  Add pudding mixes.  Beat with wire whisk 1 minute (mixture will be thick).  Stir in pumpkin and spices with wire whisk until well mixed.  Spread over cream cheese layer.

Refrigerate 4 hours or until set.  Garnish with additional whipped topping, if desired.  Store leftover pie in refrigerator.

Helpful hint: soften cream cheese in microwave on High 15 to 20 seconds.

This pie is very rich, so you’ll want to make the slices small.
