Marshmallow Meringued Pumpkin Cream Cheese Pie
It's that time ladies and gents, what time may you ask? Time for football, well sure. Time for the time change, very soon yes. Time for watching Love Actually, yeah almost. What is it truly time for though...?
Well folks I believe it's time to upgrade your pant size for the holidays, or better yet...might I suggest elastic. I am quite lucky to be pregnant right now, or perhaps it's a curse...I almost feel I have permission to eat what I want. It's hard to tell a Jennifer craving from a baby needs it to grow craving. I mean who am I to deny my child a cupcake?
Shoot maybe that cupcake is growing that part of my babies brain that could make him president one day? Or better yet, maybe that cupcake is happening to up his "luck factor"..the kind of luck that has him force me to buy the winning lottery ticket one day while were buying Slurpee's at 7-11.
Now that you have that to chew on, perhaps you should make this..and have a whole dang pie to nibble, shoot I won't lie - this makes two pies!
One for me, one for baby.
Ingredients (Cream Cheese Pumpkin Pie) Makes 2 Pie's
Delightfully borrowed from Paula Dean ya'll
{Full Printable Recipe}
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 cups canned pumpkin, mashed
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg plus 2 egg yolks, slightly beaten
1 cup half-and-half
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, optional
- 2 Store bought crust, 9'.
Directions (Pumpkin Pie)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Pre-bake your pie shells for 10 minutes.
For the filling, in a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer. Add the pumpkin and beat until combined. Add the sugar and salt, and beat until combined. Add the eggs mixed with the yolks, half-and-half, and melted butter, and beat until combined. Finally, add the vanilla, cinnamon, and ginger, if using, and beat until incorporated.
Pour the filling into the warm prepared pie crusts and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the center is set. I covered my pie edges with aluminum foil. Place the pie on a wire rack and cool to room temperature.
Ingredients (Marshmallow Meringue)
Originally borrowed from Sprinkles Bakes
3 egg whites
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup sugar
1 -7oz. jar of marshmallow creme
Directions (Marshmallow Meringue)
Beat egg whites, vanilla and salt at high speed until foamy. Gradually add sugar 1 tbsp at a time, beating until stiff peaks form.
Beat in 1/4 of the marshmallow creme. Repeat with remaining creme until meringue is well mixed and fluffy.
Heap meringue in the middle of the cooled pie and swirl with the back of a spoon or spatula. (I used fork to make the stripes.) Bake at 400 until browned.
Oh Yeah baby..literally

Can't deny that child a cupcake =) Or a piece (or three) of this pie! It looks absolutely stunning.
Girlfriend?!? This might make you my official BFF. LOVE!
Gorgeous! Ha ha ha - Love Actually. So true!! Happy Halloween!!
I say enjoy eating whatever the heck you feel like. When else will your tummy grow anyway? :) This looks so so yummy!
Oh Yum! This pie looks so good.
All I need is a fork....looks awesome.
This looks outstanding! I love meringue!
This looks absolutely delish and is at the top of my list for new pies to try. Thanks for sharing and I love the dotty bright green plate!
HI Jennifurla, wow, I have been soo busy and haven't had time to blog surf as much. Turns out you're pregnant again. Congratulations! And Indigo looks so grown up already (sidebar pic).
The pie sounds great! I have some fresh pumpkin in the fridge I've been wanting to turn into pie, never thought about a meringue topping.
Meringue on a pumpkin cheesecake? Awesome!
I don't know how I missed this post! Absolutely STUNNING!!! Marshmallow meringue... I die!
I am not usually a meringue fan, but with marshmallow fluff in it, I am quickly changing my mind. What a fantastic pumpkin pie!!
Love the marshmallow meringue!
Wow, YUM. Looks fabulous. I didnt know you were blogging again. Glad to see you back.
Marshmallow meringue sounds sooo yummy and the pumpkin pie delish! That little bundle of joy has good taste:)
I was pregnant last year during the holiday season, and I loved it! This year, though, I may have to wear those elastic waist pants... This pie looks AMAZING!!
This is one fabulous pie!!! I'd love to make this instead of the traditional pumpkin pie for turkey day...too bad I can't think of an excuse to make two!
"one for me, one for baby" I like the way you think!!
This is wonderfully delicious - can I make-believe that the meringue keeps it light? Or just throw in the towel and accept that there are New Years Resolutions in my future?
That looks sooo good...!! Marshmallow meringue, what can go wrong?? Love the beautiful presentation too :).
Marshmallow meringue makes everything better. This looks sensational!
want to come make this for our Thanksgiving dinner?!? Looks great.
What a beautiful pie, my friend! And eat up, you are feeding two! Thanks again for sharing with me. You know how to make me smile. I hope you have a blessed weekend!
This is almost like a pumpkin pavlova, a really elegant idea and something a little different.
I love the meringue on top..the pie looks terrific!
Mmm...delish. I've got my stretchy pants ready!
Love Actually is one of my favorite movies! and it looks like this could become my new favorite pie!
What gorgeous, clean photos. I don't just want this pie, I want to eat it in your photos! (does that make any sense?) Thanks for visiting my blog :)
This looks ultra delicious! I love how you did the border for your crust.
You see that last part of the pie in the last photo? That's for me. Thank you very much! This looks fabulous. Don't know why I never thought of using marshmallow creme for meringue.
oh goodness! this pie has amazing and delicious written all over it!!!!
We made these for Thanksgiving, they were fabulous and we have two in the oven now!
Thank you for sharing:)
