Pumpkin Mascarpone Pie

Pumpkin mascarpone pie is a stunning and creative warm and cozy holiday dessert that is incredibly easy to make, totally delicious, and pure joy to consume. It's creamy, rich, and indulgent. Spend just minutes mixing the mascarpone cheese and pumpkin puree filling together with fall spices, then pour into a prepared pie crust, and bake. In fact, you may need to make two if you’re serving guests at Thanksgiving or any fall dinner because this pie disappears quickly!

Why You’ll Love Pumpkin Mascarpone Pie

• It’s so easy. For this pumpkin mascarpone pie, you’ll spend just 5 to 10 minutes making the batter and assembling the pie, and most of the time waiting for your pie to bake. If you’re impatient, this might seem like a long time, but if you’ve got other things to do, it's perfect! Take that hour for yourself, tidy up the house, or catch up on your shows. Me? I like to meal prep while waiting for a long bake.
• Pumpkin plus mascarpone. Mascarpone cheese has a very high fat content, which gives it a silken, velvety texture. Combine that with canned pumpkin puree, and you’ve basically got yourself a decadent pumpkin cheesecake filling in this pumpkin pie. You’ll love this flavor combination so much that you’ll need to make it every holiday season!
• It’s the perfect fall dessert. You might think fall is all about pumpkin spiced lattes, but that’s just because you haven’t tried this pumpkin spiced mascarpone pie. You’ll love the seasonal fall leaf decorations, the burnt orange color, and the warm and cozy flavor.
