Great recipe that is quick and easy to put together. Be careful not to add in the light corn syrup twice however...writing the recipe with a 1/4 cup of syrup in each part would be easier. Tastes great though and a nice addition to our Thanksgiving meal! - 22 Nov 2001 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Excellent. Traditional with a extra bonus of swirled cream cheese. My family loved it. I will definately keep this in my favorite file. - 23 Dec 2005 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Fantastic! I agree with the previous reviewers - because of the way the recipe is written, it's easy to make a mistake with the corn syrup, and add too much to the cream cheese mixture. But if you follow the directions carefully, you will end up with a fabulous, fluffy pumpkin pie, enhanced with chunks of sweetened cream cheese. One other note - I used homemade pie crust, and only needed a regular 9-inch pie plate. The recipe calls for a deep dish crust, which seems a little excessive for the amount of filling. - 16 Oct 2016 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
