Gluten-Free Black Bottom Pumpkin Cheesecake


Pumpkin season is almost over. Just kidding, we have another month of it! In honor of pumpkin spice and everything nice, here’s my delicious Black Bottom Pumpkin Cheesecake recipe.

Perfect for Halloween, Thanksgiving, or any day in between, this dessert is luscious, creamy, and sure to hit the spot. To create the black bottom, I used Kinnikinnick KinniToos chocolate sandwich cookies. For striking contrast, I then layered it with a pumpkin cream cheese layer and a traditional cream cheese layer. The sour cream and powdered sugar “frosting” on top is the perfect finishing touch to give it that extra oomph.

A great bonus about this cake is that the topping gives it a nice base for additional decorations, if desired. You can top it with sprinkles, decorate it with Halloween shapes in frosting, or just leave it as-is for a classy, simple look.
