Steps
1 |
For the crusts: Preheat your oven to 350°F. |
2 |
Grind CHEETOS® White Cheddar Bites finely in a food processor. |
3 |
Mix ground CHEETOS®, ground graham crackers, melted butter, sugar and salt, massaging between your paws until the mixture is a sandy texture. |
4 |
Divide the mixture between 2 12-inch round pans. |
5 |
[OPTIONAL BASED ON RECIPE LENGTH IN LAYOUT] Flamin’ Hot® Tip: The bottom of a measuring cup is purrfect for flattening your crust on the bottom and sides of the pan. |
6 |
Bake crusts 15 minutes and then cool. |
7 |
For the filling: Place your CHEETOS® White Cheddar Bites, heavy cream and milk in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. |
8 |
Once it’s nice and bubbly, cover the pan, remove it from the heat, and let it hang out and cool for 20 minutes. |
9 |
Blend filling mixture until mixed and smooth. |
10 |
Place pumpkin, eggs, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, pumpkin spice, black pepper and vanilla extract in large bowl and mix well. |
11 |
Add in cheesy cream puree to the bowl and combine. Then divide pie filling between two pans. |
12 |
Bake pies for about 50 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when the center is firm and springy. |
13 |
As hard as it is, allow the pies to cool completely before digging in—at least 2 hours. |
14 |
And of course, top them with whipped cream and more cheesy CHEETOS® goodness before serving. |
