- In a separate large bowl beat the cream cheese until soft. Then beat in the sugars and spices.

- Gently fold in the whipped cream.
- Take the crust out of the freezer. Pour the cheesecake mixture over top and spread the top smooth.

- Top with whipped cream, slice into pieces & serve.
Recipe Tips
- We recommend using a 9 inch spring form pan. A 10 inch springform pan will also work too.
- Make sure to use full fat, brick style cream cheese. If you use other cream cheese types – it may not set properly.
- Make sure to use 100% pure pumpkin and not premade pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin pie filling has a bunch of other ingredients that we don’t need in it.
- If your cheesecake doesn’t seem to be firming up enough, place it in the freezer.
- On that same note – this cheesecake freezes well. Then thaw it in the fridge.
