- For the filling:
- 2 15 oz. cans of pumpkin puree
- 6 eggs
- 2 1/2 c. brown sugar
- 1/2 tbsp. cornstarch
- 1 tbsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
- 1 tsp. ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tbsp. pumpkin spice

How to make it
- For the crusts:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Grind the CHEETOS® White Cheddar Puffs finely in a food processor.
- Mix ground CHEETOS® Puffs, ground graham crackers, melted butter, sugar and salt, massaging between your paws until the mixture is a sandy texture.
- Divide the mixture between 2 10inch round pans.
- FLAMIN’ HOT® Tip: The bottom of a measuring cup is purrfect for flattening your crust on the bottom and sides of the pan.
- Bake crusts 15 minutes and then cool.
- For the filling:
- Place your CHEETOS® White Cheddar Puffs, heavy cream and milk in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer.
- Once it’s nice and bubbly, cover the pan, remove it from the heat, and let it hang out and cool for 20 minutes.
- Blend filling mixture until mixed and smooth.
- Place pumpkin, eggs, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, pumpkin spice, black pepper and vanilla extract in large bowl and mix well.
- Add in cheesy cream puree to the bowl and combine. Then divide pie filling between two pans.
- Bake pies for about 50 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when the center is firm and springy.
- As hard as it is, allow the pies to cool completely before digging in—at least 2 hours.
- And of course, top them with whipped cream and more cheesy CHEETOS® before serving.
