No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake With Toasted Pecan Graham Cracker Crust

Thursday, September 13, 2018
No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake with Toasted Pecan Crust is always a hit and is a must have dessert recipe in our house for the Thanksgiving and Christmas dessert table.

I've said it before and I'll say it again No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake With Toasted Pecan Graham Cracker Crust is one of Colts all time favorites. 

The minute October hit and the leaves on the trees turned orange Colt and the kids started dropping hints that they really wanted a slice of Pumpkin Cheesecake, and were more than willing to help in the kitchen.

No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake is a must make recipe for Thanksgiving and Christmas for the dessert table. It's sweet without being overly sweet with a light, silky, melt in your mouth almost mousse like texture.

If Colt has the option of this or Pumpkin Pie he always chooses the No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake.

This is another of my hubby's favorites, no bake pumpkin cheesecake. 

I am sure I have been making this for at least 10 years.

It reminds me of pumpkin pie with whip cream folded in. It is fairly light but still rich.

A small slice goes a long way, just a hint we had brought this to our life group for dessert and my hubby sliced big old manly man slices ( he likes to feed people). It was a bit too large!

Keep the slices small.

No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake made using a Cinderella Pumpkin to make Homemade Roasted Pumpkin Puree from Serena Bakes Simply From Scratch.

I once again made homemade Roasted Pumpkin Puree, this time using a Cinderella pumpkin which tasted just as good as the sugar pumpkins I had been using, just for future reference. It came in our box of good from Klesick Family Farms.

Other wise you could use canned pumpkin and I will pretend not to know. I've done both, so I promise not to tell...
