It is FINALLY FALL!

For those of you who live in a more temperate climate, you had fall long ago. But for us Sacramentans, fall arrived yesterday and I cannot explain my utter BLISS. No more 80, 90 and 100+ degree days! No more brutal, excruciating summer weather! I cannot contain my excitement.

What better way to kick off Californian’s belated fall than with a pumpkin pie? But this is no ordinary, regular degular pumpkin pie. This one has a cheesecake bottom. A two-layer cheesecake pie, if you will. It’s spectacular and had my neighbors begging for seconds.

Introducing:Ā Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake.Ā A dream, really!

Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake

You won’t believe how EASY this is to bake. It onlyĀ looks complicated with its beautiful layers!

First, you’ll need a crust. I went the semi-homemade route and used a store-bought 9″ graham cracker crust because that’s my prerogative. Then, you’ll make your cheesecake base which consists of cream cheese (obviously), some sugar, vanilla, and eggs. Simple enough, yes? Spread part of that creamy cheesecake layer in the bottom of your crust.

THEN you’re going to create your pumpkin layer. To the remaining cheesecake batter, you’ll add your pumpkin puree and a bunch of spices to make it deliciously pumpkin-y. Mix her up and pour that glorious orange-colored beauty over the cheesecake layer in the crust carefully, trying not to swirl the layers together. It looks gorgeous with its distinctive white and orange layers!

Bake it up until it is mostly set (a little jiggle in the middle is okay) and let her cool. Then refrigerate until totally set and serve!

A mountain of fresh whipped cream is absolutely essential, but vanilla ice cream a la mode would be fantastic as well.

How long will my cheesecake last?

Your pumpkin cheesecake will last airtight in the refrigerator about 4 days.

Can I freeze my cheesecake?

Yes, this cheesecake can be frozen. Simply wrap the entire cheesecake or pre-sliced pieces in plastic wrap, then in foil and freeze up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge overnight.

Pumpkin-y, spicy, creamy and sweet – this deliciousĀ Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake will be a huge hit at your next gathering!

Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake

This Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake has everything: a creamy vanilla cheesecake base, a pumpkin spice pie topping and a buttery graham cracker crust all in one easy dessert mashup! Your guests will LOVE this incredible pie!
Prep Time8 hours hrs 15 minutes mins
Cook Time45 minutes mins
Total Time9 hours hrs
Course: Cheesecake, Pie
Cuisine: American, Dessert
Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients

For the Cheesecake Layer:

  • 1 9" prepared graham cracker crust (deep dish recommended)
  • 16 oz (Two 8 oz packages) cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract

For the Pumpkin Pie Layer:

  • 2/3 cup pumpkin puree (such as Libby's 100% pure pumpkin)
  • 1¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325° degrees F. Place the graham cracker crust on a rimmed baking sheet just in case there's any spillage during baking.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the cream cheese and granulated sugar with the paddle attachment until smooth, about 1 minute. Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract. Scrape down the bottom and sides of the bowl to ensure everything is well combined and mixture is creamy and smooth.
  • Spread 1 cup of the cheesecake mixture into the bottom of the prepared crust. To the remaining bowl of cheesecake batter, add in the pumpkin puree and spices and mix well until fully incorporated. Carefully cover the plain vanilla cheesecake layer with the pumpkin pie layer in the crust, smoothing out the top evenly.
  • Bake for 35-45 minutes or until the top is mostly set. If the middle jiggles just a little bit, that is normal and it will continue to set up more as it cools and refrigerates, but it should NOT be sloshing around in the pan. Cool to room temperature for about 1 hour, then refrigerate for at LEAST 4 hours, preferably overnight before serving.

Notes

Instead of the separated spices listed, you can use 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice.Ā
