Gluten free pumpkin cheesecake
You will find our full recipe below to print at home, but here are a few essential tips you need to know when making a gluten-free pumpkin cheesecake. We previously shared our delicious recipe for a classic gluten-free cheesecake. On that post, you’ll find the ins and outs of making a gluten-free cheesecake including:
How to make a gluten-free cheesecake crust. Why cheesecake needs to be cooked in a water bath. How long you should allow a cheesecake to set before serving. Delicious toppings for a classic cheesecake.
We essentially used the same recipe to make this gluten-free pumpkin cheesecake. Instead of adding sour cream though we added pumpkin puree and spices to give this cheesecake the perfect taste of fall. We are also sharing delicious fall-inspired toppings below that pair perfectly with pumpkin cheesecake.
Baked cheesecake recipe tips
We already provided quite a few ideas on our classic cheesecake recipe, but here are a couple more you should know.
Vanilla extract substitutes
When it came time to make this recipe I thought I had plenty of vanilla extract in the pantry. It’s a staple item that I assumed would always be there, but it wasn’t. There are a number of substitutes you can use when making cheesecake, but I recommend these two for a pumpkin cheesecake. I ended up using almond extract and it turned out perfectly.
Almond extract Pure maple syrup
Cheesecake water bath wrap
In my previous post, I mentioned that I had used an oven bag to wrap the springform pan in. That didn’t work this time. I had one more bag that hadn’t been used, wrapped the pan, started pouring hot water in, and noticed that it was filling inside the bag. I immediately pulled the pan out, thankfully before any water got inside, and wrapped it in aluminum foil instead. Make sure you do a few layers though.
