No-Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Jars

A simple, no bake cheesecake that tastes like fall in a jar. There’s nothing fancy about it. Chocolate sandwich cookies are crumbled on the bottom, then a pumpkin pie-spiced cream cheese filling is piped or spooned on top. I like to use mascarpone cheese for its sweet and ultra creamy texture, but a regular full-fat cream cheese will work beautifully as well.

Servings 8

Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 7 ounces chocolate sandwich cookies, such as Oreos
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese, or softened cream cheese
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 ¼ cup powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • Whip cream using a mixer or hand held beaters until soft peaks. Set in the refrigerator until later.
  • Place the cookies in a food processor with the melted butter and grind to crumbs. Reserve about 2 tablespoons for garnish, then spoon two tablespoons into the bottom of each of 8 glasses, pressing on the crumbs to form the crust.
  • In a separate bowl or stand mixer, beat the mascarpone until smooth. Add the pumpkin, vanilla, and spices. Beat in the powdered sugar ½ cup at at time, until smooth. Fold in half of the whipped cream.
  • Carefully spoon the pumpkin filling on top of the cookie crumbs, or you can put the filling into a piping bag to fill the glasses. Distribute the filling equally among the glasses, then refrigerate for at least one hour, and up to 8.
  • To serve, dollop some whipped cream over the pumpkin and garnish with the reserved cookie crumbs.
