Ingredients.

Recipe Variations

  • Gingersnap Cookie Crust - use gingersnap cookies in place of graham cracker crumbs to create a different flavor crust.
  • You can use a pre-baked crust or make a homemade one like I did for my Vanilla Pudding Cheesecake Recipe.
  • Cool Whip Whipped Topping - you could substitute whipped topping for the heavy cream but the taste will not be the same.
  • This recipe calls for pumpkin pie spice. If you can't find it in the grocery store, check out my homemade version for Pumpkin Pie Spice here on my blog. Making it at home is easy and costs a lot less too!

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare pumpkin cheesecake mixture.
  • Step 1: In a mixing bowl with an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy.
  • Step 2: Add in the powdered sugar and continue mixing until well mixed.
  • Step 3: Then add in the pumpkin puree and vanilla.
  • Step 4: Continue to mix until everything is well incorporated.

Expert Tip

Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature or softened so it blends well with the other ingredients. This will help create a smooth and creamy texture.

  • Step 5: In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream on medium speed for 1 - 2 minutes. Then increase the speed to high and beat until stiff peaks form.
  • Step 6: Add the whipped cream to the pumpkin mixture; reserving a little to decorate the pie if desired. Gently fold in until they are both well combined.
  • Step 7: Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared graham cracker crust.
  • Step 8: Place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.

Step 9: Once the pie has chilled, you can serve it with the reserved whipped cream. A drizzle of caramel sauce would be delicious too!

Cheesecake Storage and Thawing Tips

Refrigerator: Store no bake pumpkin cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. I like to store pies and cheesecakes in the pie/cake plastic storage containers.

Freezer: You can freeze this cheesecake for up to 1 month for best flavor.

Thawing Tips: Thaw at room temperature for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator when you're ready to eat it.
