We love this recipe because not only does it blend two family favorites, pumpkin & cheesecake, but it’s also a no-bake recipe.
If you have never made a no-bake cheesecake before, you don’t know what you are missing. It is quick & easy!
Honestly, the hardest part is waiting for it to set after mixing it.
What can I say, we love pumpkin cheesecake around here. I really love that it doesn’t take all day to make either. I can whip it up a couple hours before heading over for bunco night & by the time we are ready for dessert, it is ready to be enjoyed.
You really can’t go wrong there. It is great for Halloween parties at the office or Thanksgiving dinner when everyone gets to bring a dish.
I’m telling you, this will definitely be the recipe that disappears first AND everyone will be asking for the recipe. Because really, who wouldn’t love a quick & easy dessert like this one?
Here are some commonly asked questions.
How long does no bake cheesecake take to set?
This particular recipe doesn’t take too terribly long. Some recipes require chilling overnight. But this one sets in about 3 hours.
What is the difference between pumpkin pie filling and canned pumpkin puree?
The canned pumpkin puree is just pumpkin. The pie filling is basically pumpkin puree PLUS sweeteners, spices and other ingredients already mixed in.
You don’t want that for this recipe because we are adding other sweeteners & spices. Be sure to get the pumpkin puree.
Can no bake cheesecake be frozen?
Absolutely. In fact, I often pop mine in the freezer instead of the fridge to speed up the chilling process.
I always think I need it sooner than I do, so in the, freezer it goes. Then I get busy or forget & there it stays until I remember again. It always holds up quite nicely.
Also, freezing is a good option if you have to travel with it. By the time you travel to your party & it is time to serve, it will be perfetly thawed & ready to be enjoyed.
