Open in Pepper →When the oven is full of turkey or you just don't want to heat up the kitchen, a pumpkin dessert that sets in the fridge is worth its weight in gold. Cream cheese, canned pumpkin, a graham crust, and a few hours of patience.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these the night before a potluck, on Thanksgiving morning when the oven is booked solid, or any October weeknight when somebody asks for something sweet.
Every recipe here skips the oven: classic no bake pumpkin cheesecake, a pumpkin cheesecake trifle layered with white chocolate pudding, pumpkin cheesecake dip for graham crackers, pumpkin fluff pie with a cinnamon cereal crust, pumpkin cream cheese bars, and a sugar free pumpkin cheesecake mousse.
Soften the cream cheese
Leave the block on the counter 30 to 45 minutes before mixing. Cold cream cheese leaves lumps you can't beat out later.
Blot the pumpkin puree
Press the canned pumpkin between a few paper towels for 5 minutes so the extra water doesn't keep your filling from setting.
Chill it overnight
Give a no bake cheesecake at least 6 hours in the fridge, and overnight if you can, before you try to slice it.
Press the crust firmly
Pack the graham crumbs and melted butter down with the bottom of a measuring cup, then freeze the crust 15 minutes before filling.
