Test Kitchen Notes:
All three layers of this cheesecake stand out individually, just as wonderfully as they come together. This delectable dessert lends itself to the best of both worlds — a slice of pumpkin pie and a slice of cheesecake. The warm flavor of pumpkin pie spice beautifully balances the sweetness of vanilla cheesecake, and it's rounded out with a yummy graham cracker crust. Top the pie with a dollop of homemade vanilla whipped cream and you’ll have yourself a decadent dessert that’s sure to have you and guests coming back for seconds.
It goes without saying that this pumpkin pie cheesecake recipe would be the star of any Thanksgiving or holiday dessert spread. For a family feast worthy of any occasion, serve it alongside our other fall favorites like Sage Stuffing, Classic Roast Turkey, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Cheesy Broccoli Casserole, or Mixed Green Salad with Apple Pie Vinaigrette.
