Crock-Pot Express Pumpkin Cheesecake
Cheesecake is hands down one of my favorite desserts and with the weather cooling off here in Wyoming it is finally starting to feel like fall so what could be better than a yummy pumpkin cheesecake that is made in the Crock-Pot Express electric pressure cooker?
We have done a couple of other pumpkin cheesecakes like this classic Crock-Pot Pumpkin Cheesecake as well as these fun individual Crock-Pot Pumpkin Cheesecakes In Jars but this time around I wanted to use my Crock-Pot Express because if how FAST it cooks a cheesecake.
I mean that Crock-Pot Express Nutella Cheesecake I made a while ago was SO good I just knew that a pumpkin spice cheesecake was going to be amazing.
And it is!
The hardest part of this recipe is waiting for the cheesecake to chill in the refrigerator for several hours before you can dig in and eat it!
Ingredients Needed:
- Gingersnap Cookies – I used Nabisco brand gingersnap cookies but feel free to use your favorite brand of store-bought gingersnap cookies. And, if you cannot find gingersnap cookies you can also use graham crackers, vanilla wafers or other crunchy cookies.
- Unsalted Butter – I almost always buy and use unsalted butter for cooking, baking and general use for my household. Salted butter will work, but stay away from margarine or other fake butters.
- Cream Cheese – This recipe works best with regular cream cheese. You can substitute low-fat neufchâtel cheese to cut the fat grams and calories just a touch but the texture of your finished cheesecake will be a little different. Still tasty but different.
- Granulated Sugar – As a sweetener, regular white sugar is used in this recipe and I have not tested this recipe using other sweeteners. For a deeper flavor brown sugar would be fantastic in this recipe too.
- Eggs – Large eggs are used in most of the recipes on this site unless otherwise stated. If you have other sized eggs other than large use this egg size substitution chart to adjust the recipe.
- Pumpkin Pie Spice – During the autumn and winter months pumpkin pie spice should be available in most US grocery stores in abundance in the spice and baking aisle. But if you are making this at another time of the year or you want to make your own homemade pumpkin pie spice use this tried and true recipe.
- Canned Pumpkin Puree – You cannot have pumpkin cheesecake without some pumpkin puree. A 15 ounce can of 100% pumpkin puree is used in this recipe OR if you want to make your own homemade Crock-Pot Basic Pumpkin Puree you can do that too!
Directions:
- In a food processor, crush the gingersnap cookies until crumb consistency, sand like.
- Drizzle in melted butter and pulse to create the crust.
- Add crumb mixture into the bottom of a 6-inch springform pan and press the crumbs tightly in the bottom and up the sides about 1/2 inch. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy with a hand mixer.
- Add in eggs and pumpkin pie spice.
- Once combined add in pumpkin puree and mix until well incorporated.
- Pour mixture on top of the crust, ensuring it’s level.
- Place the trivet in the bottom of the insert for the Crock-Pot Express.
- Pour in 1 cup of water.
- Set the cheesecake on the top of the trivet.
- Secure the lid and make sure the SEALING is set and not on venting.
- Set the pressure cooker to DESSERT or HIGH PRESSURE and cook for 35 minutes.
- Allow to natural release for 5 minutes and then you can quick release.
- Place cheesecake in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours before serving.
- Slice cheesecake once chilled and top with whipped cream (if desired) and enjoy!
