How To Make A Yummy Pumpkin Sugar Cookie Cheesecake

Step 1: Prep the Crust

Place the graham crackers in a food processor, and pulse into crumbs. Add sugar, and pulse a couple of times to mix.

Melt the butter in a medium-sized bowl, pour graham crackers crumbs into the butter, and stir well to coat.

Line the bottom of a 7-inch spring-form pan with parchment paper, and press the crumbs into the bottom of the pan, evenly, smoothing with the back of a spoon. Place the pan in the freezer.

Step 2: Make the Filling

In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, place the heavy cream, and 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar, and whip with the whisk attachment until stiff peaks form and the cream is whipped.

Add the vanilla and the cream cheese, and blend until smooth and fluffy. Add the sugar, and mix until smooth.

Scrape down the sides of the bowl, and blend until smooth.

Divide the cheesecake into 3 dishes, placing an equal amount in each dish.

In one dish, add the pumpkin-flavored syrup, and the orange food coloring gel, and stir, adding more if needed, until the desired color is achieved.

Place the dish in the refrigerator.

In another dish, add the aqua food coloring gel, a few drops at a time, until the desired color is achieved.

Mix well.

Remove the pan from the freezer, pour the aqua (bottom layer) of cheesecake into the pan, and smooth evenly with a spatula.

Place the pan back in the freezer.

In the last remaining dish, add the sugar cookie syrup flavoring, stir well, cover with foil, and place the dish in the refrigerator, this will be the white layer.

Step 3: Assemble

After about 2 hours, check the cheesecake in the freezer; it should be firm to the touch.

Remove the pan from the freezer, remove the white cheesecake from the refrigerator, and spoon the white cheesecake batter into the pan, on top of the aqua layer.

Evenly smooth the cheesecake with a spatula, and place it back in the freezer.

Allow the cheesecake to remain in the freezer for at least 2 more hours, or until it's firm to the touch.

When it's firm, pour the orange layer on top of the white layer, and smooth the top layer with the back of a spoon.

Once all the layers have been poured, leave them in the freezer overnight for best results.

Step 4: Frosting Prep and Finishing Touches

In the mixing bowl, add the softened butter, and softened cream cheese, and mix with the whisk attachment until creamy and fluffy.

Add the vanilla and heavy cream, and mix.

Add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, blending on low speed, and scraping the bowl down as needed, until all powdered sugar is added, and the frosting is completely mixed and smooth.

The frosting needs to be thick enough that it doesn't fall from the whisk when the mixer is tilted and the whisk is out of the bowl.

It should be thick enough to remain on a spoon and not slide off.

If it is not that thick, add a little more powdered sugar until you have a thick frosting.

This will make sure it holds its shape when piped.

Using plastic wrap (glad wrap) tear off a piece about 10 inches wide, and place the frosting length-wise in the middle of the plastic wrap.

It will look like a long ribbon of frosting.

Then, roll the plastic wrap around the frosting, making sure to keep it long, or length-wise like a long ribbon.

Snip the end off of the plastic wrap, on one end only, and twist the other end closed.

Place the plastic wrap in a pastry bag with the large star tip.

Remove the spring form from the pan, and pipe the frosting onto the edges of the cheesecake, using a swirling, motion, leaving big dollops on the cheesecake, and bring it up to a point.

Add the fall sprinkle mix to the top of the cheesecake, sprinkling over the frosting, and top of the cheesecake.

Place the cheesecake back in the freezer until time to serve.

When ready to serve, slice the cheesecake into 2-inch pieces. Serve, and enjoy!

This makes 8 servings.

What to Serve with Your Pumpkin Sugar Cookie Cheesecake

Main Dish

Select your entrée with the same care. A meal heavy on cream and butter will not leave your guests in the mood for cheesecake.

Consider white fish, chicken breast, or grilled meats instead of salmon or pulled pork, and relatively plain herbed rice and vegetables instead of rich casseroles or scalloped potatoes.

Appetizers

When your meal will end with a cheesecake, try to avoid using similarly rich ingredients in your appetizers. If you're entertaining, skip the heavy or cheesy canapes in favor of lighter options like marinated vegetables.

Salads should be light, crisp, and green, with simple vinaigrettes rather than rich ranch or blue-cheese dressings. If you want to start the night with a soup, go for something light and brothy rather than creamy or heavy.

Drinks

A slice of rich, decadent cheesecake goes perfectly with a cup of strong coffee or tea, creating the ideal moment of self-indulgence.

Popular Substitutions & Additions

This creamy cheesecake will sure be great for any occasion. Try adding some fresh strawberry slices on top for more extra added flair. You can also top it off with whipped cream.

You can also try these toppings:

Chocolate Chips
Chocolate Shavings
Chocolate or Caramel Drizzles
Fresh or Dried Fruits
Shredded Coconut
Crushed Toffee Bars
Mini Marshmallows

Also, make sure that you leave the butter and cream cheese called for in this recipe, out on the counter until it is soft. The frosting will not mix correctly if the butter and cream cheese are cold, both need to be soft and at room temperature.

Best Way To Store Pumpkin Sugar Cookie Cheesecake Leftover

How Long Will Pumpkin Sugar Cookie Cheesecake Last In the Fridge?

Pumpkin Sugar Cookie Cheesecake FAQs

Can I make the cheesecake in advance?

Yes. Best of all, cheesecakes can be made ahead of time, which means you'll have one less thing to worry about on the day of your party.

Cheesecakes can be covered and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Make a cheesecake ahead of time and freeze it for even more convenience. Refrigerate whole cheesecakes overnight to defrost.

Can I store a warm cheesecake in the refrigerator?

No, Warm cheesecake should not be refrigerated immediately. As the inside temperature of the refrigerator rises, placing the hot cheesecake in the fridge will be more harmful to the refrigerator than to the cake.

It's best to let the cheesecake cool completely before putting it in the fridge.

Is a watery cheesecake filling, okay?

No. One common issue with cheesecakes is that the cream cheese used adds too much moisture to the cake, causing it to become runny.

If you don't add anything to help offset the cream cheese's water content, the cake's texture will most likely be off.

Can cheesecake quickly chill?

Yes. Use a small fan to blow horizontally over the cheesecake in the refrigerator (covered of course).

As a result, the cool air will draw the heat away from the cheesecake. It should reduce the cooling time by 30-40%, or about 4 hours on a 12-hour chill time.

Is it safe to put a cheesecake in the freezer to set?

No. It may be tempting to remove your cheesecake from the oven and immediately place it in the freezer to save a few steps. It will not, however, set, and the consistency will be off.

Allow your cheesecake to cool at room temperature after baking. Then put it in the fridge until it's set.
