Why add cheesecake filling to a pumpkin pie recipe?

Plain pumpkin pies can be boring.  The cheesecake layer adds some dimension to the pumpkin pie. After allowing it to cool you can make the pumpkin pie filling.

What kind of pie crust for a pumpkin pie?

I won’t lie to you or even pretend that I spend time making homemade pie crust.

I take the easy way, and use a pre-made pie crust.  The crust is not even baked first. 

Then just layer the cheesecake layer and the pumpkin pie layer all at once. You are almost done. It will cook like this for most of the time. As if it’s not good this way.
