No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake

Oh yeah baby … it’s time to talk about the one … the only …

No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake!

Can you see how delicious and creamy this cheesecake is?

So … why are you going to love this recipe??

1. You do not have to use your oven … I repeat … you will have room in your oven for other things … aka sweet potato casserole … on busy kitchen days like Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. I don’t know about you but … during the holidays … my oven is considered valuable real estate!
2. You can make this ultra delicious dessert ahead of time. Make this a day or two before your ready to serve it. It will be waiting patiently in the fridge until you are ready!
3. You can have a no bake dessert that looks and tastes like you slaved all day! Choose to either make your own crust like I did or buy a couple of pre-made graham cracker crusts to make this holiday dessert super easy to assemble. I made my crust because I wanted it to look like a traditional cheesecake using a spring-form pan. There’s nothing wrong with using a store bought crust. If you do decide to go that route … either buy two crusts or cut the pumpkin cheesecake filling ingredients in half.

I mean seriously … aren’t those enough reasons to make this no bake pumpkin cheesecake?
