Last night I made the pumpkin cheesecake, but I will not make it again. I followed the directions as written. It was too sweet and too creamy for me. There was also too much graham cracker crust. Thank you for the recipe.

So I used the pie filling and just didn’t add anymore spices. I reduced the sugar only by about 1/3 cup. And I didn’t the Japanese style where you separate your eggs and fold in the stiffened whites at the end prior to baking. My cake turned out amazing!

Hi Jamie! I don’t recommend pumpkin pie filling as it has other things added in along with the pumpkin. I’m not sure how your cheesecake will turn out if you used the pie filling. 🙁

Im about to make this but when I was shopping didnt see the notes. I thought getting that would eliminate the need for pp spice, since I only had cinnamon and nutmeg at home and wasnt wanting to buy even more spices I never use. Praying for the best.

Hi Linda! You shouldn’t have any issues baking this in a cupcake tin. I’m not sure on a bake time though. Enjoy! 🙂

I’m so glad you enjoyed this so much, Francine! 🙂

I wanted to make my own because 1) I didn’t want a Costco-sized cheesecake since we would also have other desserts and 2) everything is better homemade! This was my first time making pumpkin cheesecake and it was excellent. I did have to cook it longer; your tip to use the instant read thermometer was so helpful. Great recipe!

Hi Carlos! I haven’t personally tried it so I can’t say for sure how it would work. If you do try it I would love to know how it goes. 🙂

Hi Jennifer! You can make my stabilized whipped cream and add some cinnamon. 🙂

In reply to Sam Merritt.

Excellent recipe. Cheesecake texture was amazing and had balanced flavor. I didn’t pre bake the crust as suggested but for some reason it dumped a lot of butter onto the baking sheet.

I made this using Truvia brown sugar and Truvia white sugar for Thanksgiving. Everyone was going on and on about it. I just made a 2nd one for just me and my husband. Thanks for a great recipe!!

Having made your classic cheesecake before and gotten rave reviews from friends and family (I top it with a blueberry limoncello jam), I decided to make this for the work Thanksgiving potluck. All day people kept coming up to me raving about how amazing it was. Even coworkers who normally don’t like pumpkin desserts couldn’t get enough. I love that it doesn’t require a water bath and still turns out perfectly flat and perfect texture. Can’t thank you enough!

In reply to Emily @ Sugar Spun Run.

This is my first attempt at making cheesecake and it was an easy recipe to follow. It just came out of the oven and we are waiting for it to cool and then chill. It cracked a little near the edges but not too bad. I’m sure there will be no complaints about the flavor. I tasted the spoon after putting it in the pan, yummy!

Wow, just wow! I texted my daughter, who asked for a pumpkin cheesecake instead of pumpkin pie for our Thanksgiving dessert table. Told her I’d have to search for a recipe, but since I’m subscribed to your blog and always have had good results, this is where I started. I couldn’t wait to tell her this pumpkin cheesecake is DIVINE!
Yes, I had to cut a slice before hand, because who could blame me, it looked delicious! Thank you, for sharing your great recipe!

Hi Diana! The store bought pre-made crusts typically don’t hold all of the batter. They will work, but you will likely have enough batter for 2 of those. I’m not sure on a bake time so just keep an eye on them as they bake. 🙂

I have a spring form pan I bought a 9″ graham cracker crust. Will that work with this recipe?

This will be good for several days in the refrigerator. I would probably cover it after it has completely cooled and set so it doesn’t absorb any fridge odors.

Hi Linda! I think that could work.
