Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe (2024)

FAQs

Can I substitute pure pumpkin for pumpkin pie filling? ›

Yes, you can use pumpkin puree in place of pumpkin pie filling by adding some additional ingredients. You'll need to add sweetener, spices, and possibly a thickener (like eggs).

Thus, cheesecake is perishable. Even if your recipe is traditional in that you bake your cheesecake (no-bake recipes don't contain eggs), once it has had a chance to cool outside the oven (about an hour), it must go back in the fridge.

It's time to loosen those waistbands because Costco's beloved pumpkin cheesecake is officially back. The dessert has garnered quite the following since it first hit shelves, and for good reason: it's enormous, affordable, and absolutely decadent.

Canned pumpkin (labeled as "100% pure pumpkin") is a purée of pumpkin that is sometimes mixed with other kinds of winter squash. It is unsweetened and does not contain any added spices. Canned pumpkin and pumpkin puree are the same thing, and you'll often see the terms used interchangeably in recipes and cookbooks.

While the canned pumpkin puree is just canned pumpkin, the Libby "Canned Pumpkin Pie Filling" also has sugar syrup, natural flavoring, salt and spices.

Eggs and milk have high protein and moisture content, and they're the primary ingredients in cheesecake, so when cheesecake is left at room temperature, conditions are ripe for bacteria to multiply. According to the USDA's Food Keeper App, cheesecake should be consumed within 5 to 7 days of refrigeration.

Once your cake pan is no longer hot to the touch, cover it and move it to the refrigerator to chill overnight in its springform pan. Chilling it overnight ensures that it sets properly.

To ensure food safety, it's generally recommended to refrigerate perishable items promptly. In the case of the cheesecake, it's safer to err on the side of caution. If it has been left out for an extended period, it is advisable to discard it to avoid the risk of foodborne illness.

Costco's nearly 5-pound pumpkin cheesecake was priced at $17.99 last year, but the current price has yet to be released online for 2023.

According to David and Susan, it's those "efficiency improvements" as well as Costco's ability to buy ingredients in bulk (and we mean bulk) that help keep the cost low. The price of the pumpkin pie has not gone up since 1990 (when it was raised $1), despite rising costs.

Does Aldi have pumpkin cheesecake? ›

Mini Pumpkin Cheesecakes are a fun hand-held dessert and snack that you can bring to any gathering. To start, preheat your oven to 350°F.

Yes, dogs can eat pumpkin and it is actually often added to dog foods. Check the label of some dog treats and you may find pumpkin on the ingredient list there too. However, if you are feeding fresh pumpkin, you will need to be careful about which part you're feeding as the stem and leaves are covered in prickly hairs.

Canned pumpkin and pumpkin puree are the same thing. These terms are often used interchangeably in recipes, though you may also see the term solid-pack pumpkin. All these terms mean 100% steamed and pureed pumpkin—no extras, no add-ins—not even in the canned variety.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIBBY'S® PUMPKIN PIE MIX AND LIBBY'S® 100% PURE PUMPKIN? LIBBY'S® 100% Pure Pumpkin is just that – pure pumpkin with nothing added – no salt, no sugar, no artificial flavorings, colorings or preservatives.

Canned pumpkin is simply cooked pumpkin. To substitute fresh pumpkin, all you do is cook your pumpkin and scoop out 15 ounces (about two cups) of pumpkin flesh. You open it up and scoop out the seeds (which can themselves be roasted for a tasty snack).

Fresh Pumpkin Puree

Fresh pumpkin is the ideal alternative for recipes that call for solid-pack canned pumpkin. To make pumpkin puree, first make sure you're grabbing the right kind of pumpkin. Look for pumpkins labeled as pie, sugar pie or baking pumpkins (regular carving pumpkins don't fit the bill here!).

You may use all sorts of pumpkins and squashes (a Cucurbita moschata or Cucurbita pepo may be called either, depending on variety) to make a pie. The Halloween types may not be the best choice: they tend to be stringy, not very sweet, and sometimes over treated with pesticides.

Start with the right variety of pumpkins, sugar pumpkins. Large pumpkins that we traditionally think of as jack-o-lanterns aren't ideal for pie as they are very stringy and have a lot of seeds. There really isn't very much “meat” to the larger pumpkins. Sugar pumpkins, also known as pie pumpkins, are sweeter.
