Ingredients

• 0.5 Cups fresh pumpkin, mashed
• 1.5 Cups cream cheese, softened
• 1 Cup brown sugar, packed
• 3 Whole eggs
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract
• 1 Cup half-and-half
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) cinnamon, ground

• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) allspice, ground

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil; add the pumpkin and cook until soft, about 10 minutes. Drain.
3. Mash the cooked pumpkin in a large bowl. Mix in the cream cheese and brown sugar. Whisk in the eggs one at a time. Add vanilla, half-and-half, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and cloves; stir until the batter is slightly thinner than pancake batter. Pour into the pie crusts.

5. Bake the pies for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375°F (190°C). Top each pie with 2 pieces of cooked bacon and bake for another 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Allow pies to cool completely before serving.
