No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake

I’ve been on a no-bake streak due to the hot summer weather, my most recent recipe being a cool lemon cream cheese pie.

I love how easy no bake desserts are to throw together and, of course, no need to turn on the oven.

Even when the weather cools down I like making no-bake desserts since that leaves my oven free for Pernil (Puerto Rican roast pork), veggies and other casseroles.

That’s where this no bake pumpkin cheesecake recipe comes into play.

It’s easy to whip up, it’s great for making ahead of time and it’s super cute when served in individual glasses.

Serve in mini jars or glasses like I did for a bite-sized party treat or personal-sized dessert.

The cups I used were 4 ounces. Mason jars are a really cute option and they have a handy dandy lid for refrigerating!

Begin by preparing the crust. I keep it easy by just combining crushed graham crackers and butter.

You need about 1 cup of crumbs and you can get creative with your crust!

Ginger snaps, Biscoff cookies or even Oreos would be yummy.

Spoon the crust mixture into the jars and gently press down. I like them semi-loose and easy to scoop out.

For the filling start with well-softened cream cheese. Blend with pumpkin, sugar and those delicious smelling pumpkin pie spices.

Fold in a little whipped topping or homemade whipped cream to give it a light texture. Save the rest of the whipped cream for garnish.

You can then spoon the cheesecake mixture over the crust, or you can pipe it in for a pretty swirl.
