Crock-Pot Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe
Ingredients
Gingersnap Crust
- 14 Whole Gingersnap Cookies (Pulverized In A Food Processor)
- 4 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter (Melted)
Cheesecake Filling
- 24 Ounces Cream Cheese (Softened)
- ¾ Cup Granulated Sugar
- 3 Large Eggs
- 15 Ounces Pumpkin Puree (Canned Or Homemade Pumpkin Puree)
- 1 Tablespoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 1 Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
Instructions
Gingersnap Crust
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the gingersnap cookie crumbs and melted butter and mix until all the crumbs in the bowl are moistened with the butter.
- Press the crust mixture into the bottom and up the sides about 1/2 inch of a 6 inch springform pan. Set aside.
Cheesecake Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together the cream cheese and sugar with a hand mixer, scraping down the sides of the bowl from time to time.
- Add the eggs, one at a time and mix between each egg.
- Add pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice and vanilla extract and mix once more until the everything is well combined.
- Pour cheesecake filling into the springform pan on top of the crust, leveling out the top with a rubber spatula.
- Place the springform pan into a 6 quart or larger slow cooker.
- Carefully pour enough water along the sides of the slow cooker to create a water bath. The water should reach half way up the side of the springform pan. Be careful not to get water into the cheesecake.
- Place a clean kitchen towel or layer of paper towels between the lid and insert of the slow cooker to prevent condensation from dripping onto the cheesecake.
- Cook on HIGH for 2 to 2.5 hours or until the center of the cheesecake is almost set but still a little jiggly when shaken slightly.
- Turn off or unplug the slow cooker and let the cheesecake cool to room temperature in the covered slow cooker.
- Transfer cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill before serving

I live in an RV full time and wanted to make a great desert, but didn’t want to heat up the RV since it’s been a hot summer. Cheesecake in a crockpot! How awesome! Thank you sharing your knowledge! 🙂
Do you put crock pot cover on while making cheesecake
Yes. Put the lid on, but put a paper towel under the lid to catch the moisture.
How would you adjust this recipe to fit in a 9 in. Springform baking pan?! So excited to try this recipe!!!!
Hi Amanda, if the 9 inch springform pan fits inside your slow cooker then I would just proceed as usual. However I think that sized pan might be too big to fit inside most standard slow cookers.
