🔪 How to Make This Cheesecake

There are a few steps to making this no bake pumpkin cheesecake, but they’re all basic and incredibly easy. It really only takes a few minutes and some prep. That’s it!

Step 1: Prep

Line the bottom of a 7-inch springform pan with parchment paper and set aside. Set out the cream cheese and butter to soften.

Step 2: Make the Crust

Using a food processor, pulse the graham crackers into crumbs. Then, add sugar and pulse a couple of times to mix. Melt the butter in a medium-sized bowl and pour the graham cracker crumbs into the butter, stirring well to coat. Finally, press the crumbs into the bottom of the pan, smoothing it out evenly with the back of a spoon. Place the pan in the freezer.

Step 3: Make the Cheesecake

Whip the heavy cream and 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar, and whip until stiff peaks form and the cream is whipped. Then, add the vanilla and cream cheese and blend until smooth and fluffy. Then, add the sugar and mix until smooth. Scrape down the sides and blend again until smooth.

Step 4: Color the Cheesecake

Divide the cheesecake batter evenly into 3 bowls. Add the pumpkin syrup and orange food coloring to one bowl and mix. Add as much or as little food coloring as you like to achieve your desired color. Cover and place in the refrigerator. Then, add the aqua food coloring a little at a time, mixing until you reach your desired color to the second bowl and place it covered in the refrigerator. Finally, add the sugar cookie syrup to the remaining bowl, cover it, and place it in the refrigerator.

Step 5: Make the Cheesecake

Remove the pan from the freezer and add the aqua cheesecake to the pan, making an even layer. chill in the freezer for a couple of hours. Then, when the layer is firm to the touch, add the white cheesecake batter in a smooth, even layer. Then, chill for another 2 hours. Finally, add the orange cheesecake layer and smooth it out with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Chill overnight.

Step 6: Make the Frosting

Beat softened butter and cream cheese in a stand mixer with the whisk attachment until they’re creamy and fluffy. Then, add the vanilla and heavy cream and mix again. Add the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time and blend on low speed, scraping down the bowl as needed, until all the powdered sugar is added and the frosting is completely smooth.

Step 7: Frost the Cheesecake

Place the frosting in a piping bag with the tip of your choice. We like to use a large star tip. Remove the springform from the pan and pipe the frosting around the edges of the cheesecake. Use a swirling motion, leaving big dollops along the edge, and bringing them up to a point in the center. Add the fall sprinkle mix all over the top of the cheesecake and chill until ready to serve!

💭 Tips

We have a couple of tips here that will help you make this the best cheesecake possible. They’re simple and easy but can sometimes be overlooked.

• Be sure your cream cheese and butter are fully softened for the correct texture in your frosting and cheesecake batter. You don’t want lumps in either.
• A stand mixer works best, but you can use a hand mixer if you don’t have one.
• The frosting should be thick enough to remain on a spoon and not slide off. If it’s too thin, simply add a bit more powdered sugar.

• Remove the pan from the Freezer, and pour the Aqua (bottom layer) of Cheesecake into the pan, and smooth evenly with a spatula.
• Place the pan back in the freezer. In the last remaining dish, add the Sugar Cookie Syrup Flavoring, stir well, and cover with foil, and place the dish in the Refrigerator – this will be the White layer.
• After about 2 hours, check the Cheesecake in the Freezer; it should be firm to the touch.

• If it is not that thick, add a little more powdered sugar until you have a thick Frosting.
• This will make sure it holds its shape when piped.
• Using Plastic wrap (Glad Wrap) tear off a piece about 10 inches wide, and place the Frosting length-wise in the middle of the plastic wrap.
• It will look like a long ribbon of Frosting.

• Place the cheesecake back in the Freezer until time to serve. When ready to serve, slice the Cheesecake into 2 inch pieces. Serve, and Enjoy!
