Layered Pumpkin Cheesecake

Layered Pumpkin Cheesecake

It’s once again time for the #VirtualPumpkinParty put on by Sara at Cake Over Steak and Aimee from Twigg Studio. If you remember from last year, a huge group of bloggers all posted pumpkin recipes on the same day and we had so much fun, we’re doing it again! Our previous creations were Pumpkin Pancakes and Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream, but today I bring you Layered Pumpkin Cheesecake.

Layered Pumpkin Cheesecake #VirtualPumpkinParty | longdistancebaking.com Now I love cheesecake just as much as the next person, but for some reason I often forget it exists. Is that weird? I rarely get dessert when we go out for dinner and I’ve heard horror stories of making your own (except for no-bake!), so unless I’m at the Cheesecake Factory I’m probably never going to be caught eating it.

Layered Pumpkin Cheesecake #VirtualPumpkinParty | longdistancebaking.comDon’t let my bad habits rub off on you though! I promise this recipe is a piece of (cheese)cake. I decided to use a homemade graham cracker crust and a springform pan for a more traditional cheesecake look, but feel free to use a store-bought crust instead. It will be equally as delicious.

Layered Pumpkin Cheesecake #VirtualPumpkinParty | longdistancebaking.comBy now everyone knows we have a slight obsession with fall, but this fall is even more special. Becauusseee….I’m moving back to Idaho! Actually, have already moved back. Since the last time I posted to now we’ve already packed up the house and drove across the country. It was incredibly quick! But we are beyond excited to be back in Boise.

I plan on embracing the few weeks of fall I have left wholeheartedly! So I think that means this cheesecake will be making an appearance again soon. Be sure to check out all of the other #VirtualPumpkinParty recipes by searching this hashtag on social media or scrolling to the bottom of this post!
