Pumpkin Cheesecake is a brilliant alternative to pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving dessert. Since it is a no-bake cheesecake recipe, you free up space in the oven, too! Serve with any Sunday Roast menu for a “mini-Thanksgiving” or autumn treat.
We made ours in shot glasses for a Halloween Party. The Lotus Biscoff base brings a cinnamon and caramel flavour to the cheesecake. If you use oaty biscuits, add a dash of cinnamon.
We also serve this as part of our Thanksgiving Dessert Buffet which includes Pecan Pie & Pumpkin Pie Bars.
