Think Thanksgiving and Christmas or if you just love pumpkins and cheesecake then this recipe can really be enjoyed any time of the year.

Seriously it doesn’t get any more delicious than this dessert and trust me it’s pretty easy to make.

So go ahead and serve this to your guests and family and watch them beg for this recipe.

HOW TO MAKE A Frozen Pumpkin No Bake Cheesecake

TO MAKE THE FROZEN SPICED PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE CRUST:

  1. Start by making your base/crust, in a large bowl place your graham crackers, brown sugar and melted butter. Mix this together with a spoon and then use your hands to press it together so it sticks. Lightly oil your cheesecake pan and then place your graham cracker crust inside. Press firmly down to create your crust.

NO-BAKE GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST:

  1. Chill pie crust for at 30 minutes prior to filling. Prior to serving, rub the outside and bottom of the cheesecake pan with a wringed out hot cloth this helps to release the pan from the crust.
  2. Baked graham crust: Preheat oven to 325°. Bake crust for 10 minutes, cool completely before filling.
  3. Add 2 packages of cream cheese to a large bowl and with your hand held blender whisk in a can of condensed milk, whipped cream and vanilla extract. Blend till smooth, be careful to not over blend.
  4. Pour over your crust slowly then chill in the freezer anywhere from 6 to 24 hours.

FINISHING THE CHEESECAKE:

  1. Once your cake is absolutely cold, release the cheesecake from the pan slowly.
  2. Sprinkle some cinnamon sugar over top
  3. Cut and allow to defrost for roughly 20 minutes, enjoy!

What better way to celebrate fall in the kitchen than with a Spiced Pumpkin Cheesecake?

This Cheesecake will have you and those who get a chance to have a slice wanting more. And the nice thing is this 8″ inch cake can serve 12 people easily.

Since this is a no bake cake, you are going to want to prepare it the day ahead. Then allow it to set in the freezer for at least 6 hours prior to serving.

Tucker, you can serve it with a dollop of freshly whipped cream on the top prior to serving if desired.

However the rest of the Canadian Cooking Adventures team thinks it’s best with just a sprinkle of cinnamon on top, so we will leave that up to you.

This is the most creamy and tasty cheesecake, perfect for the holidays!

Also be sure to use “pumpkin puree” not “filling”, there is big difference here.

For this recipe, I used 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs, because I really like a thin crust however most recipes will call for 2 cups which makes a slightly thicker crust.

If you prefer a thicker crust then use the 2 cups.

Note: You can put a dollop of whipped cream on top. Place your cake back in the freezer or it will melt this cheesecake is best chilled frozen.

Mini Egg Cheesecake Cups

Leave a comment

Spring is officially here and that means Easter is right around the corner. These (no bake) Mini Egg Cheesecake Cups are sure to bring some sweetness to your home this season.

Now let me ask you a serious question, do you know anyone that doesn’t like cheesecake? Well I don’t. 

So trust me when I say that these cheesecake cups are sure to put a smile on everyone’s face this Easter Season.

What I REALLY like about these Cheesecake cups is that their not heavy at all. And that’s because of the whip cream addition that makes them almost like a cheesecake mousse! YES, A Cheesecake Mousse!

My partner who lives, I mean loves cheesecake. Has already given it a 10 out of 10 and then asked is there more? 

Lucky for him, I am going to be making these again for Easter as I will be serving them to our guests.  

I had such a good time making these, I bet the kids would have a blast making them too!

This recipe here can easily serve 6 people. Also, since this is a no bake cheesecake recipe it can all be ready in less than 30 minutes! And like any of my recipes, you can adjust the ingredient ratio in the ingredient section and serve more people or less people if desired. 

You may have been thinking, aren’t Cadbury eggs Canadian?

Because I sure did, but after some research I learned their actually a milk chocolate created and produced by Cadbury UK. And are now also produced in Canada, so I decided to place this recipe under my England cuisines category. I hope that is okay with my Canadian readers!

These cups are so good that people may just ask for seconds or thirds. So if you are serving more than a few, I would definitely double up the recipe.

Also they are best served a bit chilled and can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours before serving if need be. 

Your going to be shocked at how easy and tasty this recipe is. People are sure to be asking how you made it? But let’s leave that little secret to us kitchen warriors.

Chocolate Banana Frosty

Leave a comment

This Chocolate Banana Frosty is super delicious and is pretty healthy in comparison what you can get at the store.

Summer is right around the corner and that means those delicious frozen desserts are about to be marketed on every tv commercial and billboard near you.

So I wanted to share my recipe to make a delicious frosty’s at home.

In hopes to save you from those long lineups at the drive thru and hopefully your healthy some too.

I admit I used to be one of those people that would get all caught up it it. Idling my car in those ridiculously long drive thru lineups, just because I needed that cooling taste of a creamy frosty.

I knew they were not very healthy but the reward of a creamy cool down was worth it!

Well I found a way to have that cool cooldown at home and in a much healthier way. 

This recipe has the addition of a banana in it, however if you want just a Chocolate Frosty, then you can omit the banana. Easy eh enough eh!

Since these frosties contain all natural ingredients vs some of those unmentionable ones you do find in the restaurant kinds. You can really feel good about making and serving these to your family and friends on those hot summer days! 

HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE FROSTY 

A frosty is basically like Chocolate ice cream, made in a similar way. If you have ever been to Wendy’s these taste very similar to their frosties. 

  • However the trick is to make it with very cold ingredients and to only let it sit in the freezer there after for a minimum of 15 minutes.
  • You do not want it to freeze otherwise it will be more like a ice cream!!

WHAT’S IN A CHOCOLATE FROSTY

  • The ingredient in this frosty are, ice cubes, chocolate milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, frozen banana, sweetened condensed milk, whip cream and pure vanilla extract.

Plus these frostys are super simple to make as only contains 5 ingredients to make it.

This recipe makes the most chocolate and creamy frosties around. 

This recipe will make 2 medium sized frosties, however if your wanting to serve more people, simple double to recipe with my easy to use recipe adjuster above. 

When making frostys at home, your expected to enjoy them shortly after. Because this is not ice-cream and itt does not need freezing at all. A frosty literally can be made and enjoyed in less than 30 minutes from start to finish!

Just be sure to follow the directions I have listed below and you will be on your way to Chocolate frosty heaven! 

Like this recipe? Try my “Chocolate Banana Frosty ” or my “Chocolate Frosty” it is very similar to this with a fruit flare.
