  4. Beat cream cheese, white sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, vanilla extract, allspice, and cinnamon together in a bowl until smooth, pour over the cooled crust. Sprinkle reserved topping over the cream cheese mixture.

Recipe Note

Incredibly easy and tasty. Neufchatel can be substituted for the cream cheese for a lower-fat but equally scrumptious alternative.
