Good, Cheddar, Best Pumpkin Pie

Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Step 2
Grind CHEETOS^® White Cheddar Bites finely in a food processor.

Step 3
Mix ground CHEETOS^®, ground graham crackers, melted butter, sugar and salt, massaging between your paws until the mixture is a sandy texture.

Step 4
Divide the mixture between 2 12-inch round pans.

Step 5
FLAMIN’ HOT^® Tip: The bottom of a measuring cup is purrfect for flattening your crust on the bottom and sides of the pan.

Step 6
Bake crusts 15 minutes and then cool.

Step 1
Place your CHEETOS^® White Cheddar Bites, heavy cream and milk in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer.

Step 2
Once it’s nice and bubbly, cover the pan, remove it from the heat, and let it hang out and cool for 20 minutes.

Step 3
Blend filling mixture until mixed and smooth.

Step 4
Place pumpkin, eggs, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, pumpkin spice, black pepper and vanilla extract in large bowl and mix well.

Step 5
Add in cheesy cream purée to the bowl and combine. Then divide pie filling between two pans.

Step 6
Bake pies for about 50 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when the center is firm and springy.

Step 7
As hard as it is, allow the pies to cool completely before digging in—at least 2 hours.

Step 8
And of course, top them with whipped cream and more cheesy CHEETOS^® goodness before serving.
