  • 4 eggs 1 (16-ounce) can solid pack pumpkin
  • 1/2 cup light or dark corn syrup
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • Whipped cream for serving (optional)

  8. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Tip: An easy way to soften cream cheese is a water bath. Place the cream cheese in an airtight plastic bag and let it sit in a bowl of lukewarm water for 10 minutes. If it's not soft enough, let it sit for another 5-10 minutes. Add more warm (not hot) water and let it sit until you get your desired softness.
