We love an easy dessert and these portable no bake pumpkin cheesecake cups are just the ticket for the holiday season! You only need a few ingredients, and about 10 minutes to go from none to done. We love this recipe for its store bought ingredients, and home made flavor.
No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake
For this recipe, we use a tub of Philadelphia Cheesecake Filling. We customize it by adding pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice for the ultimate, cozy flavored Fall cheesecake! We used 2 layers in these cups, one is pumpkin spice, the other is salted caramel. The salted caramel cheesecake layer comes together just as easily, using store bought caramel and a little bit of sea salt.
Cheesecake Parfait Cups
I use these cups from Amazon. I love them because they have a dome, so you can get them totally prepped before bringing them somewhere! These particular cups are 8 ounces. Please note this recipe is more of a method than an exact science. You may need to make more or less filling and graham crackers if you use a different type of cup.
I buy pre crushed graham cracker crumbs. Yep, they exist! They save a step. If you have whole graham crackers you can easily crush them up as well. Mix the graham crackers with a little bit of butter to make a crust, if you like some extra flavor you can add cinnamon or nutmeg to it as well.
Next, we’ll make our cheesecake layers!
No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Filling
We use Philadelphia Cheesecake Filling (this one, so you can see what it looks like at the store). I made 2 layers for these parfaits. You can do 1, both, totally up to you. Separate the cheesecake base into 2 bowls, and mix the fillings accordingly.
- Pumpkin Cheesecake Layer: Combine cheesecake filling, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin spice. Whisk to combine.
- Salted Caramel Cheesecake Layer: Combine cheesecake filling, a little salt, and caramel dip. Whisk to combine. Sometimes the caramel takes a minute to combine so whisk well with a fork.
Scooping Cheesecake Filling
I use a cookie scoop to scoop filling into the cups. I layer graham cracker crumbs, salted cheesecake layer, more graham cracker crumbs, and then the pumpkin spice cheesecake layer. I top it off with some whipped cream and a little bit of pumpkin spice!
Note- if you’re making these in advance, wait to spray on the whipped cream. It doesn’t typically have stabilizers so it will deflate within about 2 hours. If you want to make them further in advance, try Cool Whip!
