Layered Pumpkin Turtle Cheesecake

A Pumpkin Dessert to Please the Masses

Pumpkin is one of those tricky seasonal foods. Either you love pumpkin everything, from savory soups to lattes… Or you find it over-rated with an oddly heavy texture. If you fall in the pumpkin snubbing subsect, yet live with pumpkin super-fans, I’ve got a dessert recipe for you to try this season. We pumpkin lovers might make a convert of you yet! Why EVERYONE Loves Layered Pumpkin Turtle Cheesecake… This devilish dessert is stacked high with layers and layers of goodness. It starts with a soft, pillowy, lightly-spiced, pumpkin cake, to satisfy the pumpkin lovers. Yet then, it’s covered with a thick layer of no-bake cheesecake filling, thick caramel, chocolate fudge, pecans, and whipped cream! You get a bit of festive pumpkin flavor in each forkful. Yet it’s not over-powering, and it’s certainly not dense like pumpkin pie.

Turtle Cheesecake

What is Turtle Cheesecake? The word “turtle” refers to the combination of chocolate, caramel, and pecans in the classic turtle chocolate candies. Therefore turtle cheesecake, is a cheesecake including these three iconic flavors. Here we’ve added turtle toppings to a rich creamy no-bake cheesecake layer. Although the pumpkin spice cake on the bottom is baked, the rest of the layers in this Layered Pumpkin Turtle Cheesecake, are easy no-bake add-ons!
