Happy Tuesday Y’all!!
I hope your weekend was fabulous! If you follow along on Instagram, you know that this weekend was our town’s annual Apple Festival. We were super busy with all of the festivities, but I must say, I really enjoyed watching my boys take part in the festival & enjoying all of the activities that I enjoyed growing up! So many memories!
I wanted to share a super easy, super yummy fall dessert with you all today! I was searching for recipes on Google that contained pumpkin & cool whip and came across this recipe for Cream Cheese Pumpkin Pie. Just by looking at the ingredients, I knew it would be something that our family would like. After reading the directions and realizing how quick it would be to make, we decided to give it a whirl! Let me just tell you, we were NOT disappointed! My husband is a huge pumpkin pie fan & he absolutely LOVED this recipe!
This recipe adapted from COOKS.COM
- 1- 8 oz. package cream cheese (softened)

If you have some fall parties to attend in the coming months & are looking to throw together a quick dessert, this one is sure to be a crowd pleaser! If you wanted to take a few extra minutes & make the pie with a homemade graham cracker crust, you can check out THIS RECIPE for directions. I took the easy way out this time & purchased the store bought graham cracker crusts, but I know that a homemade crust would have made this recipe even more delicious!!

sounds yummy!
Mmm sounds yummy and looks easy too! Thanks for sharing it with us. Happy autumn to you, always love stopping by your blog.
Is there a way that I could have this recipe but only make one pie with it? There’s only two of us and it sounds delicious, and I’d very much like to make it tonight.
I would really love to make this dessert tonight, but there is only 2 of us and was curious if there is a way that I can make only one pie with this recipe instead of two.
Hi Kasha!
Just cut the ingredients in half & you can make one pie instead of two!
I made this today. I enjoy the flavor but, even after refrigeration for hours, it’s still not “set” and as firm as I would like. Perhaps I’ll try making it again with 2 bricks of cream cheese and a bit more sugar to compensate for the extra cream cheese.
