Creamy Pumpkin Cheesecake with Salted Caramel and Brown Butter Pecan Crust

You won’t find a pumpkin cheesecake as creamy, silky, decadent and with an amazing balance of flavors as this one! Every bite is pure bliss. Did I mentioned this is the creamiest pumpkin cheesecake? Just making sure you know! Everyone around you will be raving over this cheesecake!

You may be thinking, what makes this pumpkin cheesecake so special, among the zillion other pumpkin cheesecakes out there?

Well, for starters, this cheesecake calls for 5 boxes of cream cheese, 5 eggs and 2 extra yolks, and I’m not even flinching here. It has a full cup of pumpkin purée and I wanted the pumpkin to shine and not to be masked with other flavors. That’s why I used some brown sugar and a pinch of nutmeg, these two together pushed upfront the pumpkin…

Rustic Pear and Blueberry Tart

This flaky and buttery pear and blueberry rustic tart is a dream! The sweet and tart flavor of the blueberries enhances the sweet earthy notes of pears. A layer of sweet cream cheese not only adds more texture and flavor but also protects the crust from getting soggy. Bits of bleu cheese and roasted walnuts add so much contrast and make this tart extra flavorful. It’s a simple pleasure that you can have anytime!

I’m so happy I made this pear and blueberry tart! It’s been a while since I’ve made my buttery and flaky pie crust. I guess I ate too much pie in previous years so pies and I decided we needed a break. But who’s kidding? I missed them a lot and when I took out my food processor and made a crust in less than 10 minutes, I realized…

Pumpkin Bundt with Maple Cream Cheese and Tequila Reposado Syrup

(Update: I updated the ingredients amounts to include weight equivalents.)

When I asked about two weeks ago through my Instagram stories what recipe should I make next, I was so happy you guys voted for a pumpkin Bundt. I really was in the mood for something warm and sweet and this is truly one of the softest pumpkin cakes I have ever made. It’s super soft, moist, full of warm spices such as cinnamon and ginger filled with sweet maple cream cheese and then soaked in tequila syrup. It’s really, really good! Especially that cream cheese bite.

Now, I’m not crazy about pumpkin. Besides the recipe for my Pumpkin Pie, there are no other recipes that call for it in the blog. What can I say?…

Salted Caramel Plums Cheesecake Tart

For this Thanksgiving I’m giving an update to my first ever cheesecake recipe; this cheesecake with caramelized plums.

It also calls for a…

Pumpkin and Chocolate Cheesecake with Rosemary Infused Dark Chocolate Crust

I’m sorry for pumpkin pie, but this has to be the best Thanksgiving pumpkin dessert ever! This pumpkin chocolate cheesecake is the creamiest cheesecake. The reason is because instead of just drizzling chocolate over a pumpkin cheesecake mixture, I divided the batter in two halves and mixed pumpkin puree in one and chocolate in the other. I also went to the dark side and used dark chocolate for the batter, for the graham cracker…
