We established last year that if you hate pumpkin pie, you should blame the baker not the pumpkin. 🎃

The pumpkin pie recipe drop last year got so many rave reviews that I’m still hearing about it a year later

I made @BowTiedOctopod ‘s pumpkin pie tonight. Struggling to figure out if this guy has a bad recipe. Everything he puts out is killer. Holy cow.

These tags and messages make me really happy. Especially in the case of pumpkin pie which over the decades has become a bland and dull “obligation” that must be brought to Thanksgiving…. instead of the delicious flavor bomb it should be.

2021 Pumpkin Pie Recipe Drop

The question for Thanksgiving 2022: How do you follow up a dessert after the pumpkin pie banger?

You’re in for a treat.

Maybe pie isn’t your thing… and you want to switch things up a little.

Enter the Pumpkin Cheesecake

It’s well known that good cheesecake is near and dear to my heart 🙌. If you’re new here, make sure to check out my Ultimate Cheesecake in the future… but for now, this Pumpkin Cheesecake is a mind-blower.

I’m gonna give you some tips and tricks to maximize and complement the pumpkin flavor. And a bourbon whipped topping you can dollop on top which takes the whole thing over the edge. 🤤

I’ve been making this cheesecake for years and never had a single dislike. These are the kind of recipes friends and family will talk about for the rest of the year… waiting for Thanksgiving to come so that you can make it again.

So here’s the ultimate recipe for Pumpkin Cheesecake:

Maximum Flavor

No Cracked Tops

Make the Day Before the Big Meal, then serve up the day of.
