Question: How do I use pumpkin pie filling!?
I want to use the filling and NOT pumpkin puree!. I can't find any recipes that use the filling instead!. can I make a pumpkin cheesecake with the filling!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Wow, you're not kidding you can't find any pie recipes using the filling! My suggestion for pie would be the following:

1) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F!.
2) Place 1 piece of pre-made pie dough down into a (9-inch) pie pan and press down along the bottom and all sides!. Pinch and crimp the edges together!.
3) Put the pie shell back into the freezer for 1 hour to firm up!. Fit a piece of aluminum foil to cover the inside of the shell completely!. Fill the shell up to the edges with pie weights or dried beans (about 2 pounds) and place it in the oven!.
4) Bake for 10 minutes, remove the foil and pie weights and bake for another 10 minutes or until the crust is dried out and beginning to color!.
5) Pour the filling into the warm prepared pie crust and bake for 50 minutes, or until the center is set!. Place the pie on a wire rack and cool to room temperature!. Cut into slices and top each piece with whipped cream!.

CRUST:

A can of pumpkin pie filling tells you how to make a pie with it on the label!.

I guess you -could- use it to make a cheesecake; however, you would have to make several adjustments from the amount of sugar to the amount of spice, etc!.

You would be much better off just getting a can of puree or making some puree yourself and following a cheesecake recipe!. Epicurious!.com has several pumpkin cheesecake recipes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Canned pumpkin pie filling already has the milk, eggs and spices in it!. You would have to adjust everything to use it for cheesecake!. Use it as a pie only!. The recipe for pie is on the can!. Buy pureed pumpkin for the cheesecake!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You can use either the filling or the puree!. You could make a pumpkin cheese cake with it too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
