I’ve been seeing pumpkin spice recipes all Pinterest so that means that fall is within our reach.  So I thought I better get on it~introducing my Butterscotch Bottom Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake!  Graham cracker crust is layered with butterscotch, pumpkin spice cheesecake filling then topped with candied pecans.  Is there anything better than candied pecans on pie?

I’ll be honest, I’m not much a baker.  While it’s a goal I’ve set for myself over the next year I’m not quite there so when I make a dessert it has to be a quick and most likely no bake.  Since most pumpkin recipes are baked pies, cookies and cakes I had to be creative and pull from  recipes that I’ve already made and reinvent it.  Bingo! My Chocolate Bottom Strawberry Cheesecake is a no-bake dessert that can easily be updated with pumpkin flavor.

How to make Candied Pecans or the topping:

Before we get to the video, I made some candied pecans for the top of this pie.  I made these prior to the video and they are not included so quickly let me tell you how.  Gather a 2 ounce package of chopped pecans, 1 Tbs butter and 1 Tbs brown sugar  Add butter to the pan and begin to melt, add pecans and brown sugar.  Stir quickly over high heat for 2 minutes until the butter and brown sugar begin to caramelize.  Take off heat and pour on a piece of wax paper on a pan.  Let cool while you make the pie.

Now on to the video.  *Part way through the video the lens sadly got splattered & I didn’t realize it!  This is my 2nd video so I am kind of glad it happened so I can be a little more cautious next time!

Just a few easy steps and then in to the refrigerator to set.

Tips & Variations for Butterscotch Bottom Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake:

  • Not a fan of butterscotch? Swap out for chocolate chips or just omit entirely.
  • Only like a ‘little’ pumpkin spice taste?  Feel free to half or even quarter the pumpkin spice mix to adjust for your taste.
