Our whimsical Pumpkin Patch Cheesecake is a ghostly good treat for your haunted Halloween party. This easy pumpkin cheesecake recipe with its yummy cookie crumb crust is literally to-die-for.
What You'll Need
- 1 (16.6-ounce) package orange cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies (see Note)
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/4 cups sugar, divided
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
- 1 (16-ounce) container sour cream
- 5 drops red food color
- 10 drops yellow food color
What to Do
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place 23 cookies in a resealable plastic bag. Using a rolling pin, crush cookies then place crumbs in a medium bowl with the butter; mix well then spread mixture into bottom of a 10-inch springform pan. Chill until ready to fill.
- In a large bowl, with an electric beater on medium speed, beat cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then add 1 teaspoon vanilla and mix well.
- Set aside 2 cookies for garnish then break up remaining 8 cookies. Stir cookie pieces into cream cheese mixture then pour into crust.
- Bake 55 to 60 minutes, or until firm. Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, using a spoon, stir together sour cream, the remaining sugar and vanilla, and the food color until well combined. Carefully spread sour cream mixture over top of cheesecake then bake 5 more minutes.
- Let cool then chill overnight or at least 8 hours. Decorate top of cake by making a pumpkin face using reserved 2 cookies (see photo). Serve immediately, or cover until ready to serve.
Note
Orange cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies are seasonal and can only be found in grocery stores around Halloween.

I made this for my son's birthday cake. He is a cook and pronounced it absolutely delicious. I am 70 years old and have never baked a REAL cheesecake - it was simple and would be wonderful with any Oreo creme cookie in it. Will definitely make it again and try baking it in 2 smaller spring form pans. Then I can freeze one or share it with a friend.

How much pumpkin can be mixed in with the cream cheese? I'm thinking maybe 1/4 cup. Also should the just of the ingredients be changed or remain the same. Please let me know and thanks in advance.

Simply add 1/2 cup pumpkin to cheesecake mixture I'm sure it will come out fine 1/4 cup does not seem like enough to get a pumpkin flavor
