FAQ:

1. Can I use a store-bought crust for this recipe?
Yes! You can easily substitute a store-bought graham cracker or cookie crust to save time. Just be sure to press it into the pan and refrigerate before adding the filling.

2. Can I make this cheesecake in advance?
Absolutely! This no-bake cheesecake is best when made ahead of time, as the flavors have more time to meld and the texture becomes even smoother.

3. How can I make sure my cheesecake filling is smooth?
Make sure to beat the cream cheese well before adding the other ingredients to avoid lumps. When folding in the whipped cream, be gentle to maintain its light and airy texture.

4. Can I use pumpkin pie filling instead of pumpkin puree?
It’s best to use pure pumpkin puree to control the flavor and sweetness. Pumpkin pie filling contains added spices and sugar that could alter the flavor of the cheesecake.
