Wow Heidi! This cheesecake looks absolutely luxurious. As a huge fan of cheesecakes this is one I would definitely not want to miss at this time of year! Yum!
This is definitely one cheesecake you don’t want to miss out on. It really hits the spot when you want a decadent pumpkin dessert!
I’m all about combo desserts, and this one is right up my alley! I love pumpkin flavors, and I love cheesecake, so I know this would be a hit in our house. Give me 2 more weeks for the nights to get a little chillier, and I’ll be all in on pumpkin everything…starting with this dessert!
This is definitely a wonderfully indulgent way to start satisfying your pumpkin cravings! But of course once you start with that first slice… it will be so hard to stop! 🙂
Bring me all this pumpkin now! This cheesecake looks and sounds delicious. Thanks for the fabulous recipe Heidi!
You are so welcome Kathrine… and I am right with you, I can’t get enough pumpkin right now!
What a perfect fall dessert! I love how you get a rich, creamy cheesecake layer and a fluffy pumpkin spice layer all in one slice. The graham cracker crust adds the perfect little crunch, too. And the fact that it’s completely no-bake makes this such a great recipe for entertaining, especially around the holidays when oven space is precious. Definitely saving this one for Thanksgiving!
This is definitely a fantastic way to upgrade Thanksgiving. Have fun indulging Silvia!
That looks so good
Have a good day
Kisses
