Units Scale

Crust

Pumpkin Cheesecake Filling

  • 8oz (1 Cup) Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 16oz Cream Cheese, completely softened to room temperature
  • 120 grams (1 Cup) Confectioners Sugar/ Powdered Sugar
  • 50 grams (1/4 Cup) Light Brown Sugar
  • 8oz (1 Cup) Pumpkin Puree
  • 1 Tablespoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 1 Tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract

Topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare crust according to recipe and let chill in the fridge for 20 minutes while you prepare the cheesecake filling. Or use a store-bought crust.
  2. In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment or large bowl with a handheld electric mixer beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  3. Scoop the whipped cream into a clean bowl then add the softened cream cheese to the dirty cream bowl. Beat the cream cheese until softened, 1-2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure all of the cream cheese is softened.
  4. Add the sugars and mix on low until the sugar is incorporated. Then add the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl so everything is evenly combined.
  5. Add half of the whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture and use a spatula to gently fold the whipped cream in, when combined add the remaining whipped cream and fold again. Be careful not to overfold, as this will deflate the cream.
  6. Pour cheesecake filling into the prepared crust and use an offset spatula to spread it into an even layer. Cover the cheesecake with foil or plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 8 hours or overnight.
  7. Release the cheesecake from the springform pan and use a spatula to transfer the cheesecake from the bottom of the pan to a serving plate then top with fresh whipped cream and sprinkle pumpkin pie spice on top. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
