- Fold in the remaining 8 ounces sugar, sour cream, vanilla extract and eggs. Whisk in lemon juice. Set aside 2 cups of cream cheese mix and pour the remaining cream cheese mix in the crusted 8 inch springform pan.
- Combine the remaining 2 cups cream cheese mix and the pumpkin spice mix in a mixing bowl and whisk together until smooth. Pour into the 8 inch springform pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 300 degrees F for 50 to 60 minutes.
- Cool for 45 minutes and then place in the freezer covered with plastic wrap until frozen.
Sour Cream Topping
- Combine the sour cream, sugar and lemon juice in a mixing bowl and whisk together until smooth. Spread sour cream topping evenly over the frozen pumpkin cream cheese pie. Sprinkle the remaining 2 ounces of cookie crumbs over the sour cream topping, and bake at 350 degrees F for approximately 8 minutes. Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours before serving.
