Description

This No-Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake is a rich and creamy dessert that combines the warm flavors of pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice with a smooth cream cheese filling set in a graham cracker crust. Perfect for fall gatherings or a festive treat, this cheesecake is easy to prepare and delivers a deliciously spiced autumn flavor without the fuss of complicated baking techniques.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (245 g) pumpkin purée
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

Crust

  • 1 prepared 9-inch graham cracker crust

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps for a silky texture.
  2. Add pumpkin and spices: Gradually mix in the pumpkin purée and pumpkin pie spice, blending until fully incorporated and the color is uniform throughout the mixture.
  3. Incorporate eggs and sour cream: Beat in the eggs one at a time to ensure even distribution, followed by the sour cream, mixing until the filling is smooth and well combined.
  4. Fill the crust: Pour the pumpkin cream cheese filling into the pre-made graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula for a smooth top.
  5. Bake the cheesecake: Place the filled crust in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C). Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly but not liquidy.
  6. Cool the cheesecake: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature, which usually takes about 1 to 2 hours.
  7. Chill before serving: Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set properly and develop the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and a smooth texture.
  • Do not overbake; the cheesecake should have a slight jiggle in the center when done to avoid dryness.
  • Use fresh pumpkin pie spice or a homemade blend for the best flavor.
  • Chilling the cheesecake overnight allows the flavors to meld and improves the texture.
  • You can garnish the cheesecake with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving for an extra touch.
