Cheesecake Pumpkin Swirl Pie

Is it me or did pumpkins just show up everywhere out of nowhere? Happy Fall everyone! And ha! I do realize it is just me…I’m still trying to resist the fact that summer is gone.

I’m not your biggest pumpkin pie fan. And I’m not the biggest fan of cheesecake either. What’s wrong with me, right?! My hubby on the other hand…well how I can say this…cheesecake and pumpkin pie are the true loves of his life. I mean he eats this stuff in his sleep. Like literally. I woke up the other night around midnight to get some water and I noticed missing spoonfuls of my Cheesecake Pumpkin Swirl Pie!

So anyways…pumpkins EVERYWHERE, right? Just walking into the grocery store, I felt like I needed to make pumpkin something. And knowing that my husband loves pumpkin pie and cheesecake, I thought what the hey! Why don’t I combine the two? When you combine cheesecake and pumpkin pie, something magical happens people. I’m not sure why this combo works but it just does and I’m liking it!

By they way, you think I really needed to open the fridge for some water? We have an external fridge water dispenser. I opened the fridge because I too wanted to sneak in a spoonful! 😛 This is how good this stuff turned out to be.

You should have seen the face expression hubby made when he tried this pie → pure happiness!

They say you can’t buy happiness. Well, you can buy the ingredients to make yummy Cheesecake Pumpkin Swirl Pie…and that’s pretty much the same thing! 🙂 Once you try this; you’ll be pinning, liking, tweeting and sharing this recipe!
