    Cheesecake-like filling in a buttery pie crust, is it a dream? It's no dream; this dreamy cream cheese pie is luscious and loaded with sprinkles. The creamy filling melts in the mouth with a velvety smooth texture.

    The creamy texture is thanks to a combination of cream cheese and heavy whipping cream. Eggs add additional richness, and sugar sweetens the filling up. This special celebratory pie is finished with an appropriate amount of rainbow sprinkles.

    When I tell you this is one of my favorite recipes that I have yet created, I mean it. Funfetti cream cheese pie (aka cheesecake pie) is one you will make repeatedly. If you are a funfetti lover like me, you will love my funfetti edible cookie dough and mini funfetti cheesecakes too!

    Cream Cheese Pie

    This luscious cheesy pie uses simple ingredients and tastes DELICIOUS. What is cream cheese pie? It is essentially a cream cheese-based custard baked in a pie crust. This pie is similar to cheesecake in flavor but with a mousse-like texture rather than dense. It is delectably sweet, rich, and velvety. This made-from-scratch pie recipe is quick and easy to throw together - the worst part is waiting for the pie to set in the refrigerator after baking. Here are a few more reasons to love this pie:

    • Easy-to-make pie with minimal ingredients
    • Rich, creamy cheesecake-like filling studded with rainbow sprinkles
    • Celebratory dessert perfect for birthdays or other celebrations
    • Essentially funfetti cheesecake in a pie crust

    Ingredients

    The ingredients you need for this recipe.
    • Cream Cheese (softened)
    • Heavy Whipping Cream
    • Eggs (room temperature)
    • Granulated Sugar
    • Vanilla Extract
    • Rainbow Sprinkles
    • Powdered Sugar
    • 9-inch Unbaked Pie Crust (store-bought or homemade) - *not pictured

    See the recipe card for ingredient quantities.

    Instructions

    STEP 1 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Once the oven is preheated, blind-bake (par-bake) the pie crust - allow it to cool.

    STEP 2 - Whip the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar using a mixer until light and fluffy.

    STEP 5 - Pour the cream cheese filling into the prepared pie crust and bake the pie for 35-40 minutes. Allow the pie to cool before refrigerating it for at least 4 hours.

    STEP 6 - Make the whipped topping and garnish the pie.

    Substitutions

    Suggested Equipment

    • KitchenAid Artisan Series 5-Qt. Stand Mixer
    • Silicone Spatula
    • USA Pan Bakeware Aluminized Steel Pie Pan

    Storage

    Store the pie, covered, in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 3-4 days.

    Can you freeze cream cheese pie? Pop the pie into the freezer until frozen. Remove it from the freezer, cover it with plastic wrap, and then foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator before eating. It is important to note that the pie's texture will be different after freezing.

    Expert Tips

    1. Use room-temperature ingredients (cream cheese and eggs) for the best incorporation—cold cream cheese results in lumpy cream cheese filling.
    2. Be careful not to overbake to avoid cracking in the center of the pie. Keep a close eye on the pie towards the end of the baking time. Cover the filling with whipped cream topping if the filling does crack.
    3. Sift the powdered sugar before adding it to the whipped-up cream. Powdered sugar tends to clump up.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do you know when cream cheese pie is done baking?

    Like with cheesecake, it is difficult to tell when custard pies are done baking. In a matter of minutes, you can over-bake the filling resulting in cracks. Custard pie is done baking when the edges of the filling are set while the center still jiggles.

    Why didn't my cream cheese pie set?

    You either improperly mixed the filling ingredients or pulled your pie out of the oven too soon.

    Equipment

    • Standing Mixer
    • Rubber Spatula

    Ingredients
      

    Cream Cheese Pie

    • 8 oz cream cheese softened
    • 8 oz heavy whipping cream
    • 2 large eggs room temperature
    • ¾ cup granulated sugar
    • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    • ⅓ cup rainbow sprinkles plus more for garnish
    • 1 9-inch pie crust store-bought or homemade

    Whipped Topping

    • 4 oz heavy whipping cream
    • 3 tablespoon powdered sugar sifted

    Instructions
     

    Cream Cheese Pie

    • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Once the oven is preheated, blind-bake the pie crust - allow it to cool. *See Notes.
    • Whip the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar using a mixer until light and fluffy.
    • Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing until they are incorporated.
    • Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract, whipping until fully combined. Fold in the sprinkles.
    • Pour the cream cheese filling into the prepared pie crust.
    • Bake the pie for 35-40 minutes or until set. (The filling should still jiggle.) Allow the pie to cool before transferring it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours.

    Whipped Topping

    • Whip the heavy whipping cream using a mixer until soft peaks form. Add the sifted powdered sugar and whip until the cream reaches stiff peaks.
    • Garnish the pie with whipped topping and additional rainbow sprinkles.

    Notes

    Store the pie, covered, in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 3-4 days.
    Blind-bake (par-bake) the pie crust to prevent sogginess. To do so, line the center of the pie crust with a sheet of parchment. Fill it with pie weights or beans. Bake for 7-10 minutes. Remove it from the oven and remove the pie weights and parchment - be careful, as they will be hot. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and return the pie crust to the oven until the edges start to brown, about 7 minutes more. Allow the crust to cool before proceeding with the custard.
