Time 8h30m

Yield 12 to 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Nonstick cooking spray
2 3/4 cups gingersnap cookie crumbs (from about 45 cookies)
1/4 cup chopped toasted pecans
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
2 pinches fine salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon powdered gelatin
Three 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup lightly packed light brown sugar
3/4 to 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Pinch fine salt
3/4 cup pure pumpkin puree (solid pack)
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/4 cup chopped toasted pecans
2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips or chopped semisweet chocolate

Steps:

  • For the crust: Spray the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray. Line the bottom with a round of parchment paper.
  • Combine the cookie crumbs, pecans, brown sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse until fine. (Alternatively, you can crush the cookies very finely in a resealable gallon-size bag and chop the nuts as finely as possible; combine them in a bowl with the sugar and salt.) Add the melted butter and vanilla and pulse until evenly moistened. Press the mixture about 2 inches up the sides of the springform pan, then press to cover the bottom evenly. Place in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
  • For the filling: Pour 3 tablespoons cold water into a small microwave-safe bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over the top. Set aside to bloom.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice and salt on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Scrape the bowl and beat 1 minute. Beat in the pumpkin puree and vanilla, blending about 30 seconds.
  • Place the bloomed gelatin in the microwave and microwave until the gelatin melts and the mixture is clear, 10 to 12 seconds. Stir a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture into the hot gelatin, then add the gelatin mixture to the mixing bowl and beat on medium speed until combined, about 15 seconds.
  • Mix in the heavy cream on low speed until combined. Scrape the bowl, then whip at high speed for about 1 minute. Spread over the prepared crust. Smooth the top of the cream, as desired. Refrigerate, uncovered, 8 hours to overnight (or top with a plate, domed-side up, so it doesn't touch the surface of the cheesecake).
  • For finishing: Unlatch and remove the sides of the springform pan. Before serving, sprinkle the edges of the cheesecake with the pecans and chocolate chips.

Tips:

  • Use graham cracker crumbs with melted butter as a simple and delicious crust. If you want to try something different, you can use other cookie crumbs or even a pretzel crust for a salty-sweet combination.
  • Be sure to use high-quality cream cheese that is at room temperature. This will help it blend smoothly and create a creamy texture.
  • Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin pie filling already has spices added, which could overpower the delicate flavor of the pumpkin mousse.
  • If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch pie plate. Just be sure to press the graham cracker crust firmly into the bottom and sides of the pan.
  • Chill the mousse cheesecake for at least 4 hours before serving. This will help it set and firm up.

Conclusion:

No-bake pumpkin mousse cheesecake is a delightful dessert that is perfect for fall gatherings. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a creamy pumpkin mousse filling, a graham cracker crust, and a dollop of whipped cream, this cheesecake is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a delicious and festive dessert, give this no-bake pumpkin mousse cheesecake a try.
