No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe

This is the perfect time of year to make No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake.

It is easy to prepare and it is a huge hit at every party, potluck and holiday meal.

And best of all there is no baking required! Just like our traditional Mini No Bake Cheesecake and No Bake Grasshopper Pie recipes simply mix the ingredients together and assemble.

That is all that is required. Even the novice cook can make this recipe!

The hardest part is waiting for it to chill in the refrigerator before eating it!

How to Make a No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake

First you must determine what type of pan to use. This recipe calls for a basic 9 inch pie pan. However, you could also use a traditional spring form pan as well.

The Crust

Then the next step is to make the crust. Although you could use a variety of ingredients to make the crust, we prefer to use a basic graham cracker crust for this recipe.

However, a crust made from crushed ginger snaps would also taste delicious with this no bake pumpkin cheesecake.

For a 9 inch pie plate you will need 1 1/4 cup of crushed graham crackers. As a guideline, you will need approximately 8 full-size graham crackers to make enough crumbs for the crust.

Press the crust in the bottom of the pan and slightly up the sides as well. Then place the pan in the freezer so the crust can set up properly.

The Filling

Now it is time to make the no bake pumpkin cheesecake filling. Before you begin, be sure that your cream cheese is at room temperature and your whipped topping is thawed.

Start off by mixing the cream cheese and pumpkin puree together until smooth and creamy.

Then add in the brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Once they have been mixed in, use a silicone spatula and fold in the whipped topping.

Now all that is left to do is to evenly spread the filling on top of the crust.

Although it looks delicious, you can not eat it right away. You have to wait at least two hours so that the no bake pumpkin cheesecake can set up in the refrigerator.

When it is time, slice and serve! And if you want to impress your family and friends even more, garnish with additional whipped topping and/or caramel sauce. Or for Halloween, dress the top with some chocolate icing shaped in a spider web!

Or how about making a Pumpkin Roll to really impress your family and friends? Yes, a little more work is involved but it is so worth it!
