Looking for a traditional dessert to make this Holiday Season with a twist for coffee lovers? Look no further! After playing around with many different variations, I have put together an incredible pumpkin pie recipe that basically tastes like one of those pumpkin spice lattes that everyone seems to be raving about…but in PIE FORM! Nice right?! Be aware that this recipe does have a pretty strong coffee taste, however you could easily just leave the coffee and grounds out and still have a lovely Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie instead. (I don’t know WHY anyone would want to but…just putting it out there since I SUPPOSE some people don’t love coffee nearly as much we do here at Mission Arabica!)
I tried a couple different coffee origins in this pie and they each tasted really amazing. Obviously you are free to use whichever coffee you’d like and I’m sure it would still taste great. I also tried a graham cracker crust and got mixed reviews. Some liked it, others liked the pie crust. In the end, I went with the pie crust because really, it’s more of a pie than a cheesecake. But if you like graham cracker crust, you could easily swap it out. The best part is the filling anyway! If you try it, please let me know what you think in the comments!

I made this, but with the following adjustment. I wanted to make it in a 9 x 13 pan, so I made a crust using 3/4 C butter, 1 1/2 C flour and 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts, (can use pecans). No adjustments to the filling or baking time. It came out great and was a big hit with our friends.
Thanks for those adjustment amounts Louella! I’m glad everyone liked it. The nut crust is genius. I’m going to have to try that next time! We appreciate the feedback! 🙂
Louella…thanks for the idea of using a 9×13 pan. I will try this BOTH ways!!! 🙂
Joyce did you try this recipe? What did you think? Let us know! We love feedback. 🙂
