Pumpkin Cheese-Swirled Pie

Pumpkin Cheese - Swirled Pie

Ingredients:
 1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup KARO Light Corn Syrup, divided
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 cup canned solid pack pumpkin
2 eggs
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/4 cup sugar
2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1/4 tsp. salt
1 (9-inch) frozen deep dish pie crust*
*To use prepared frozen pie crust: Do not thaw. Preheat oven and a cookie sheet. Pour filling into frozen crust; bake on cookie sheet.

Preheat oven to 325.

In a small bowl, with mixer at medium speed, beat cream cheese until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in 1/4 cup corn syrup and vanilla until smooth; set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine pumpkin, eggs, evaporated milk, remaining 1/4 cup corn syrup, sugar, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Beat until smooth. Pour into pie crust.

Drop tablespoonfuls of cream cheese mixture onto pumpkin filling. With knife or small spatula, swirl mixture to give marbled effect.

Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until knife inserted halfway between edge and center comes out clean. Cool completely on wire rack.

Helpful Hints:
Corn syrup gives baked desserts a silken smoothness; it also helps them retain their moisture and stay fresh longer. (Pumpkin pie leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.)

Happy Baking,

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Cake

Hello Everyone,

It's been awhile since I last posted anything. Today's recipe is an awesome one and I have a cheater method to it if your in a hurry and one that takes a little longer. So for the cheater method to save time in case your a busy person. I take a chocolate cake mix  (follow instructions on the box) add my chocolate chips and my shredded zucchini and mix it all together. You can also add nuts to it if you would like.Don't forget to add your eggs, water and oil of course, but after mixing everything together I put it in the oven to bake as directed and then that's it. I wait for it to cool and then eat it. You of course can add chocolate frosting to it, dust it with powdered sugar or whatever you would like.
