Double Layer Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie: Twice The Goodness
This particular recipe comes from the November 10, 1991 issue of Parade Magazine®, a Washington Post® newspaper insert.
Double Layer Pumpkin Pie
Since pumpkin pie, in any version, is always a welcome addition to Fall family gatherings, and of course the traditional Thanksgiving dinner, this particular pumpkin pie recipe variation seemed yummy.
It was when we first made it and still is.
We have serious pumpkin pie devotees in our family so there is always room at the dessert table for yet another variation.
Cool Whip® has come a long way from the basic whipped topping.
Use the French Vanilla or Cinnamon flavor with this pie or with as a topping for an apple pie.
Have you tried the chocolate flavored Cool Whip®?
It could easily qualify as a dessert all by itself! And the frostings? Oh la la….
We also use plain Cool Whip® as a low calorie alternative to fresh whipped cream on a “fancy” slice of Shoo Fly pie.
Sensational Double Layer Pumpkin Pie
- 1 (3 oz.) package of Philadelphia Brand® cream cheese, softened.
- 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon cold half and half, milk or cream.
- One tablespoon sugar
- 1 1/2 cups thawed Cool Whip® whipped topping
- Keebler® Ready-Crust® graham cracker pie crust (6 oz.) – 1 pie crust
- 2 packages (4 serving size) JELL-O® Vanilla flavor instant pudding and pie filling
- 1 can (16 oz.) pumpkin, canned
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Spices, particularly those used in pumpkin pie recipes and use only once or twice a year, have a definite shelf life so buy fresh spices if needed – it makes a world of difference in the flavor.
