Fall Food Ideas | Pumpkin No-Bake Cheesecake Oatmeal Crisp + Apple Cider Bourbon Cocktail
The temperatures are dropping, but hopefully, you will fall in love with some of our favorite fall-inspired recipes.
We love to entertain year-round, and this autumn, we are rolling out our Pumpkin No-Bake Cheesecake Oatmeal Crisp.
And it takes very little time to whip up. It’s four ingredients and some fridge time, and you’re done. (note: make the oatmeal crisp crumble ahead of time)
For this one, we are replacing the traditional Graham cracker pairing with an oatmeal crisp crumble, and it works perfectly. The oatmeal crisp crumble has the sweet taste of cinnamon, brown sugar, and nutmeg.
Doesn’t that so much better than plain old Graham crackers?
Rich layers of oatmeal crisp crumble, no-bake pumpkin cheesecake, and velvety caramel sauce! YUM!
Pumpkin No-Bake Cheesecake Oatmeal Crisp
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces of Cream Cheese (room temperature)
- 1 cup can pumpkin
- 1/2 granulated or superfine sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice flavor
- 8 ounces Cool Whip, thawed
- 1/2 cup Oatmeal Crisp Crumble
- 2 Tablespoons Caramel Sauce
Directions:
Note: Make Oatmeal Crisp Crumble ahead of time and reserve it for use later.
- Into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add cream cheese and pumpkin beat until ingredients are well incorporated.
- Add sugar and pumpkin pie spice, and continue mixing until the mixture is well-mixed.
- A little at a time, add the Cool Whip and gently fold it into the mixture until it is fully mixed.
- Refrigerate for 3 hours until the mixture is set.
- Into the bottom of a serving glass, add a tablespoon of caramel sauce, ladle two (2) tablespoons of oatmeal crisp crumble into the glass, add 1/2 cup of no-bake cheesecake, and top with more oatmeal crisp crumble and caramel sauce.
- Serve.
I love this dessert, and I think you will too!

We also created a fallstastic Apple Cider Bourbon Cocktail using one of our favorite bourbons.
Michter’s Small Batch Bourbon is a well-balanced bourbon with smokey notes and a nice oak finish.
This seriously delicious cocktail stands on its own, but it also works wonders paired with our equally delicious dessert.
So, are you ready to entertain and impress your guests with these two fall favorite recipes?
I think you are way ahead of me and already planning your next shindig, and I ain’t mad at you!
Here are other Apple Crisps recipes you may want to try:

Apple Crisp Funnel Cake With Homemade Caramel
With the right ingredients, a rock-solid cocktail is just a shake or stir away. One way to ensure a fantastic finished product is to start with quality ingredients. We selected a good bourbon, fresh apple cider, and spice old fashioned mixer. Just three ingredients to make this a delicious start, middle, and finish. Let’s raise a glass to all things fall and let the good times’ rock steady!
Most great cocktails get its start in the bar mixing glass or cocktail shaker. For this recipe, I chilled both the mixing glass and the serving glasses. I allowed both to sit in the lower part of the fridge for 10 minutes. This helps ensure a nicely chilled cocktail.
