To ensure a smooth cream cheese layer, make sure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing. For a more flavorful pie, consider using homemade pumpkin puree. Always check the pie after 45 minutes of baking to prevent overcooking, as ovens vary. For an extra touch, garnish with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.
