Just in time for Thanksgiving

[redkneck]

Tried this last night, was great and real easy! Make it early so it has time to chill well. Also go easy on the spices, a pinch of cloves goes a LONG ways and you'll get it too tangy fast if your not careful.

Ingredients:

2 packages (16 ounces total) cream cheese, softened

3/4 cup pumpkin purée

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/8 teaspoon cloves

2 large eggs

1 large graham cracker pie crust

Topping spice mix: (I used pumpkin spice instead- it's mostly a garnish on top of the whipped cream)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

dash of cloves

Combine cream cheese, pumpkin, sugar, vanilla, and spices; mix with a hand mixer at medium speed until well blended. Add eggs; mix until blended. Pour into graham cracker crust. Bake at 350° F. for 35 to 45 minutes, or until set. Cool. Refrigerate at least 3 hours, or overnight. Top with cool whip, and sprinkle with topping spice mix. Cut and serve.
