Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 1 pie crust
  • 8 ounce cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 4 Tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 3 Tablespoons cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon cardamom or nutmeg
  • 1 ¼ cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Place pie crust in 9" standard or deep dish pie pan. Shallow, tin pie pans will not be deep enough.
    Whipping the heavy cream.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or using an electric mixer and beaters, beat cream cheese on medium high until smooth and creamy. Add eggs and beat on medium until smooth. Add brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg and beat until well combined. Stir in whipping cream and vanilla on low, just until combined.
    Adding the eggs and other ingredients.
  • Pour batter on top of pie crust and bake for 35-40 minutes. The edges will be set, and the center will have a slight wobble when you bump it.

  • Allow to cool on the counter for 2 hours before eating. Do not place in the refrigerator until it has reached room temperature. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Nutmeg can easily be used if you don't have any cardamom. It's a little spice that serves to enhance the cinnamon flavor.
  • Beating the cream cheese until perfectly smooth is vital to the texture of this pie. Any lumps will not melt out during baking, you will have a lumpy pie.
  • Using cream cheese softened to room temperature helps it beat perfectly smooth.
  • We always recommend Philadelphia cream cheese for the smoothest possible texture. Off brands can create a pie that is grainy or lumpy.
  • Make sure to allow it to cool for at least 2 hours before enjoying. I like mine cold, so I cool it to room temperature then chill it for a few hours before eating.
