Although it’s October, we’ve had temperatures in the mid-80s here in Nashville lately. While I love pumpkin spice goodies, it still feels a bit like summer around here.

Don’t get me wrong–I’m not really complaining, because I don’t really enjoy winter at all. I mean, I enjoy cold weather for Christmas, but after that, winter can be done!

So while I’m enjoying the warm weather while I can, it’s also October, which means it’s time for hay rides and trick or treat and the pumpkin patch.

This frozen pumpkin cheesecake is the perfect compromise! It’s basically an ice cream pie, and it’s SO tasty. 

I’m not a big fan of regular pumpkin pie, but I do love this no-bake frozen pumpkin cheesecake!

Pumpkin Cheesecake Ice Cream Pie

To make this pie, I use some of the same ingredients I use when I make no-churn ice cream. It’s also pretty similar to my Ninja Creami Pumpkin Cheesecake Ice Cream.

I used thawed whipped topping (like Cool Whip) for this version, but you could also prepare your own whipped cream. 

To do that, take two cups of whipping cream and use an electric mixer to whip on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold that prepared cream into the mixture instead of Cool Whip.

I use Biscoff cookies because I feel like they’re the perfect balance of sweetness and spice, and they’re readily available at most supermarkets.

But you can use a different brand of speculoos cookies if you’d like. For instance, you can often find speculoos cookies at Aldi this time of year. 

Or skip the speculoos and substitute gingersnaps, cinnamon graham crackers, or plain graham crackers, if you prefer. You’ll need the same amount of crumbs either way.

If you’re like me and enjoy having a few no bake Thanksgiving dessert recipes or no bake Christmas pies on hand, you’ll also want to check out this dreamy No-Bake Gingerbread Cream Pie, festive No-Bake Pecan Pie Cheesecake, and creamy Caramel Cream Pie.

How to Make Frozen Pumpkin Cheesecake

It’s actually quite easy to make this pie.

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • Speculoos Cookies (Such as Biscoff)
  • Brown Sugar
  • Butter
  • Cream Cheese
  • Pumpkin Puree
  • Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • Whipped Topping (Such as Cool Whip)

How to Make it:

Prepare the crust. To start, you’ll prepare a crust with some crushed Biscoff speculoos cookies, brown sugar, and butter. 

Those get pressed into a springform pan. Pop it in the freezer while you make the filling.

Prepare the filling. Mix together pumpkin puree, cream cheese, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Once that’s well-combined, mix in some sweetened condensed milk.

After that is incorporated, gently fold in a container of whipped topping (like Cool Whip) until there are no streaks and it’s fully combined.

Pour that into your prepared crust, then transfer the pan back to the freezer for several hours.

Notes and Adaptations:

  • If you’d rather have a cream pie instead of a frozen pie, simply chill the cheesecake for several hours in the refrigerator instead of freezing.  It won’t set up super firm, but it will be a creamy (and still delicious!) filling. If you go this route, I’d recommend using Cool Whip OR using stabilized whipped cream if you whip your own. This is how you can make stabilized whipped cream. 
  • This filling can also just be frozen by itself as pumpkin cheesecake ice cream!  Seriously, just make the filling and pour it into a freezer safe container. Let it freeze for several hours, then scoop it out into little dishes and serve with your favorite cookies.
  • This is a great make-ahead pie option for your Thanksgiving menu. Preparing it ahead of time will free you (and your oven!) up for other things!

Easy, Incredible Frozen Pumpkin Cheesecake

Author: Chrysti Benner
Serves: 8
Prep Time 15 minutes
Additional Time 6 hours
Total Time 6 hours 15 minutes
This frozen pumpkin cheesecake is like a delicious ice cream pie! The creamy no-bake filling pairs perfectly with the warm spices of a Biscoff crust.

Ingredients
 

For the Crust:

  • 2 cups crushed speculoos cookie crumbs (I used an 8.8-oz package of Biscoff cookies)
  • 3 Tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 6 Tablespoons butter (melted)

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 8 oz package cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 8 oz container of frozen whipped topping such as Cool Whip, thawed

Instructions

  • In a small mixing bowl, combine cookie crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter until crumbs are evenly moist.
  • Press mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9" springform pan. You can use your fingers or the bottom of a drinking glass to press them well. Transfer pan to the freezer while you prepare the filling.
  • In a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer, or in the bowl of a stand mixer, combine canned pumpkin, cream cheese, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Beat together until well-combined and smooth.
  • Scrape down the sides of the bowl and gradually add in sweetened condensed milk while continuing to mix at medium speed with the mixer until combined.
  • Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated and no streaks remain. Remove pan from freezer and pour filling into the prepared crust.
  • Transfer back to the freezer until fully frozen, at least 6 hours.
  • When getting ready to serve, allow cheesecake to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to slightly soften before cutting. I like to warm a knife under hot water, then wipe it dry before slicing.

Notes

  • I use Cool Whip, but you can make your own whipped cream by whipping two cups of whipping cream until stiff peaks form. 
  • You can use Biscoff brand speculoos cookies or another brand. Alternatively, you can substitute gingersnaps, cinnamon graham crackers, or plain graham crackers. You’ll need the same amount of crumbs either way.
  • If you’d rather have a cream pie instead of a frozen pie, simply chill the cheesecake for several hours in the refrigerator instead of freezing. It won’t set up super firm, but it will be a creamy (and still delicious!) filling. In this case, I’d suggest using Cool Whip OR using stabilized whipped cream if you whip your own. This is how you can make stabilized whipped cream.
