Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups Biscoff cookie crumbs about 20 Biscoff Cookies
  • 1/4 cup salted butter melted
  • I Cup cold heavy whipping cream
  • 16 oz. full-fat cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree *note, do not use pumpkin pie filling
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice

Instructions

  • Step 1: Make the Cookie Crust
  • First, start by crushing the biscotti cookies into fine crumbs. You can use a food processor or place them in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

  • Then, in a medium bowl, combine the crumbs with the melted butter, stirring until the mixture resembles a crumbly crust.

  • Next, line your square baking pan with parchment paper and press your cookie crust mixture evenly into the pan using a rubber spatula or the bottom of a measuring cup.

  • Place your baking pan in the fridge to let the crust chill while preparing the cheesecake layer.
  • Step 2: Whip the Cream
  • Pour the cold, heavy whipping cream into your mixing bowl and whip it at medium to high speed until your cream forms stiff peaks.
  • Set aside in the refrigerator for the cream to set up.
  • Step 3: Mix the No Bake Cheesecake Pumpkin Filling
  • Combine the room-temperature cream cheese with the granulated and powdered sugar until creamy and smooth.
  • Add in the lemon juice, vanilla, salt, pumpkin spice, and pumpkin puree. Mix until all ingredients are combined well.
  • Step 4: Combine the Whipped Cream and Cream Cheese Mixtures
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture until it's fully blended and no streaks are visible.
  • Pour into the prepared crust, using a spatula to smooth the top evenly.
  • Step 5: Chill the Bars
  • Place your no-bake pumpkin cheesecake bars in the refrigerator and chill for at least 8 hours or overnight.
  • I recommend freezing the cheesecake for 1 hour before cutting for extra-clean slices.
  • Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
  • When you're ready to serve, use a sharp knife dipped in hot water to slice the bars neatly.
  • To finish, top your no-bake cheesecake pumpkin bars with a generous dollop of whipped cream or cool whip. Use a piping bag with a frosting tip to add the whipped topping for an extra special touch. Sprinkle a bit of pumpkin pie spice and a few cookie crumbs.
