Are you ready for a super easy No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Dessert recipe? This easy to make, Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie is light, pumpkin-y and oh-so-good! It’s a perfect no-bake fall dessert. (Scroll down to the bottom for the printable recipe.)
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Dairy MAX. All opinions are 100% mine.
Today’s post is dedicated to my love of all things pumpkin in the fall – but without all the work! (Cuz that’s how I roll, lol.)
I’ve partnered with Dairy MAX to bring you one of my favorite dairy-based Fall Dessert Recipes.
This no-bake pumpkin cheesecake recipe is fluffy, light and oh-so-pumpkiny. It’s the perfect pumpkin recipe to make when you need a Fall dessert, but don’t feel like turning on the oven. (90 degrees today – yes, fall in Texas, I’m talking about you!)
Can you see how light and fluffy this pie is?
What I like most about this no bake pumpkin pie recipe is it’s not super sweet and that the pumpkin flavor is the main flavor.
You almost don’t even taste the cream cheese. I am always suprised how much this no bake pie tastes like regular pumpkin pie! (Especially when you add a huge dollop of vanilla flavored cream on top!
Here’s what you need to know about this No Bake Pumpkin Pie Recipe:
-It tastes so good! Even though this recipe has a block of cream cheese in it, it has the flavor of a real pumpkin pie.
-Use a store bought crust and it’s completely no bake pumpkin pie.
-This no-bake pumpkin pie is super easy to make, but be aware that you need to allow time for the cream cheese to soften and then several hours for the pie to completely set up. (If serving to guests, I recommend putting the pie together the night before as it will be nice and firm and just look prettier. Also, I think the longer it sets up the better it tastes.)
-I consider this dessert recipe to be kinda-healthy! (Or as healthy as any dessert can be.)
It’s made with just a few ingredients: pumpkin puree, cream cheese, real cream, spices and a bit of sugar.
If you’re doing low carb, you can sub the graham cracker crust for a nut crust or serve it crustless as a mousse and use any cup for cup sugar substitute.
Since this post is sponsored by Dairy Max I want to make sure to mention the benefits of dairy products, especially when it comes to kids.
Milk, cream and yogurt are full of whey protein, which is a high-quality complete protein found naturally in dairy products. Dairy is a great way to get the kids off to a great start in the morning.
Kids who eat breakfast have a higher intake of calcium, have higher test scores and improved daily attendance.

I gave this a 4 star because it did not set up like photo. It was absolutely delicious! We ate the whole pie for Thanksgiving. Will make it again but would love some tips on a firmer result.

I agree, it’s delicious. I made it again on Tuesday. This time we put a dollop of the vanilla cool whip on top, that really made the pie.
So my best tips on a firm pie would be…
1. Does your pumpkin puree seem runny? If it does you might consider putting a coffee filter in fine mesh sieve to drain off any excess liquid. I’ve never done this but I have heard this tip before.
2. Make sure you are achieving stiff peaks with the whipped cream. ( I use a stand mixer to make my whipped cream, I don’t know if that makes a difference.)
3. When folding the whipped cream and cream cheese mixture together make sure to not over fold or it could deflate your whipped cream.
4. Make this the day before and let it set up over night.
Hope these help and good luck.
