Ingredients
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour or 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Whipped cream or powdered sugar, for topping (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Fit the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add brown sugar and mix until fully combined.
- Mix in eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in heavy cream, cinnamon, flour or cornstarch, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles.
- Let the pie cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for 2–4 hours or until fully set.
- Top with whipped cream or powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
Notes
- Chill thoroughly before slicing for the cleanest cuts.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom for additional depth of flavor.
- Use a graham cracker crust for a twist on the classic version.
- For a dairy-free version, use plant-based cream cheese and cream alternatives.
- Not recommended for freezing due to custard consistency.
