Instructions
For the crusts:
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.
For the filling:
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.
