how do you make no bake cheesecake pie
Simply start by adding sandwich crackers (I like chocolate on chocolate myself) to a food processor and pulse until they are pulverized.
Then combine the cookie crumbs, butter and sugar in a medium sized mixing bowl.
Once mixed, pour into a 9 x 9 pan or pie pan and then press them evenly along the bottom and sides.
Then in a large mixing bowl, mix together sugar and cream cheese together until creamy. Add in the pumpkin puree and spices and beat until smooth.
Using a large spoon or spatula, fold in half of the whipped topping (approximately 8 ounces) until mixed well to create your pumpkin cheesecake filling.
Spoon pumpkin cheesecake filling into the pie crust and spread evenly. Add remaining whipped topping and smooth evenly on top of pumpkin cheesecake layer.
Refrigerate your No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie for two hours, garnish with walnuts or pecans and serve. Left overs can be covered and kept refrigerated for 3-4 days.
pro tips for perfect pumpkin dessert
- Don’t forget to take your cream cheese out of the refrigerator ahead of time. You want your cream cheese to be room temp and softened.
- Can’t grab chocolate sandwich cookies. Substitute with 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs, 1/3 cup sugar and 6 tablespoons of melted butter.
- Take a minute to toast your walnuts or pecans. Add to a small pan and heat over medium for a few minutes until fragrant. Remove and let cool completely before topping pie.
- Make sure you are grabbing a can of pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling. Big difference!
