We normally like to add a dollop of whipped cream to a plain pumpkin pie, but with this recipe the topping is already included.  This pie is wonderfully smooth and creamy, and the sweet topping just finishes it perfectly!

Pie filling:

2 cups pureed pumpkin
2 eggs (beaten)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 cup butter (melted)

1 pie crust

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well.  Pour batter into pie crust.  Bake in preheated oven at 350F for approximately 60 minutes or until set through.

Topping:

1 pkg cream cheese
1 cup whipped cream
½ cup powdered sugar

Blend all ingredients together and use to top pie.
