Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake
This easy no-bake layered holiday dessert is two desserts in one: pumpkin pie AND cheesecake! Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake is sweet, perfectly spiced and a must-make for your Thanksgiving dinner.
Are you a fan of pumpkin pie and cheesecake? Ever try them together? OMG so good! If I could eat this every day for the rest of my life, I would.
This Thanksgiving, instead of making the traditional pumpkin pie for dessert, why not try something a little different? This pumpkin pie cheesecake is exactly what you need to make.
Did I mention it was no-bake? I love no-bake recipes where I don’t need to use the oven. Typically, the oven is pretty busy when I’m making a holiday dinner. It’s prime real estate with all the other baking going on.

How to Store Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake
Best Way to Store Layered Pumpkin Cheesecake
Store any leftover cheesecake in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Can I Freeze No-Bake Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake?
Yes, you can freeze pumpkin cheesecake as long as you store it correctly. You an either wrap up the pie whole in freezer friendly wrap.
Alternatively, you can freeze cheesecake slices.
I recommend to enjoy within the month for optimum taste and texture. Simply thaw in the refrigerator for 24 hours before eating.
Can I substitute pumpkin pie mix for pumpkin puree?
I would not substitute pumpkin pie mix for pumpkin puree in this recipe. The result will be way too sweet when combined with the vanilla instant pudding mix. Use only canned pumpkin and save the pumpkin pie mix for another recipe.
