I am big on making the holidays as easy as possible, so I think you’re going to like my no-bake pumpkin pecan pie cheesecake recipe.
No-bake cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts. It’s great for many reasons:
- You don’t have to worry about steam baths and cracked tops.
- You don’t have to turn on your oven.
- It’s just a few steps and then you set it and forget it.
This recipe uses my pecan nut pie crust.
What’s great about this is that you don’t need to bake it at all. This crust works as is pressed into your pie dish.
While baking it will give it a nuttier flavor, and a gluten crust-like texture. There’s no flour to cook, and therefore, this is a fully no-bake recipe.
If you decide to bake the crust, that’s okay too – it gives it a nuttier flavor.

Ingredients for no-bake pumpkin pie cheesecake:

Use my pecan nut pie crust recipe, or get a store-bought nut-based crust.
Cheesecake:

How to make No-Bake Pumpkin pie cheesecake:
Prepare your crust. If the crust is pre-made, move on to the next step.
Begin by whipping your cream with a hand mixer, or stand mixer. It’s ready when it has formed stiff peaks.
Add in your softened cream cheese, pumpkin puree, heavy whipping cream, sugar, vanilla extract, salt and pumpkin pie spice.
Whip the mixture slowly first to incorporate, and then on high speed until everything is combined and fluffy.
Pour the mixture out into the pan and gently tap it to even out the mixture, and pop any air bubbles.
Then refrigerate anywhere from 8-24 hours to let the mixture setup properly.
When ready to serve, slice your cheesecake and garnish with whipped cream, salted caramel, or edible flowers

Notes
- This is a high-fat, low carb recipe. If you’d like to lower the grams of fat, you can always use low-fat cream cheese – it will up the carb content just slightly.
- Make sure to use canned pumpkin puree, and not pumpkin pie filling – the difference in carbs is astronomical.
