Indulge in the rich, autumn-inspired flavors of the Philadelphia 3 Step Pumpkin Cheesecake—a dessert that blends ultra-creamy Philadelphia cream cheese with warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg for the ultimate seasonal treat. This easy-to-make cheesecake requires just 10 minutes of prep and bakes to perfection in a ready-to-use graham cracker crust, making it ideal for both novice bakers and busy hosts. With a perfectly spiced pumpkin filling and a velvety texture, this recipe delivers all the decadence of a classic cheesecake in a simplified three-step process. Serve it chilled with a dollop of whipped cream for a stunning Thanksgiving dessert centerpiece or a cozy fall indulgence.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened Philadelphia cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is well blended and smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition until just blended.
Stir in the canned pumpkin, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until fully incorporated.
Pour the cheesecake batter into the 9-inch ready-to-use graham cracker crust, spreading evenly.
Place the cheesecake on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes or until the center is almost set (it will still jiggle slightly).
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until completely chilled.
Serve chilled and, if desired, top with a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
