What Is No-Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake?
This tasty fall dessert tastes just like a baked cheesecake. The only difference is that you don't have to bake anything - even the pie crust. All of the ingredients are ready to use and all you have to do is add the filling to the pre-made graham cracker pie crust. Then, let it chill (so it thickens) and then it's ready to eat!
