Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs + 1 egg yolk
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Crust

  • 1 pie crust, homemade or store-bought

Topping

  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pie Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a standard 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges neatly and place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
  2. Make the Filling: In the bowl of an electric mixer, add the softened cream cheese and packed light brown sugar. Beat on high speed for about 3 to 5 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula to ensure even mixing. Add the eggs and egg yolk, then beat again until fully combined.
  3. Add Remaining Ingredients: Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually mix in the heavy cream, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, salt, and ground nutmeg. Continue mixing until the filling is very smooth and well incorporated.
  4. Fill the Pie Crust: Pour the prepared cinnamon filling evenly into the chilled pie crust, smoothing the top gently.
  5. Bake the Pie: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes. The center should be mostly set but slightly jiggly. If the center is still too loose, bake an additional 5 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  6. Chill the Pie: Once cooled, cover the pie with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate it for several hours or overnight to fully set.
  7. Serve: Remove the pie from the refrigerator about 1 hour before serving to allow it to come closer to room temperature. Dust the top with powdered sugar. Slice into 8 pieces and serve optionally with whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.

Notes

  • Store any leftover pie covered tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Allowing the pie to rest at room temperature for 1 hour before serving enhances the flavor and texture.
  • This pie pairs beautifully with fresh whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added richness.
