Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tbsp butter melted
  • 32 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon

Method
 

  1. Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into a 9-inch springform pan, creating an even layer across the bottom and slightly up the sides. Chill for 10 minutes while you prepare the filling.
  2. Beat softened cream cheese on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down bowl sides frequently to eliminate any lumps that could affect texture quality.
  3. Add pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and salt to the cream cheese. Beat on medium until everything blends together smoothly, about 2 minutes total time needed.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold this whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture using a spatula to maintain the cozy no bake pumpkin cheesecake recipe's airy texture throughout.
  5. Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours—overnight chilling produces the best results because it allows flavors to meld completely.
  6. Before serving, drizzle caramel sauce across the top and sprinkle with chopped pecans and cinnamon for visual appeal. The warm spice garnish complements the creamy filling beautifully.
