In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy.
Add pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, and mix gently until creamy.
Stir in powdered sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg without over-mixing.
Pour the pumpkin filling over the crust and bake for 45-55 minutes.
