Let’s Review the November Baking Challenge
November 2020 Sally’s Baking Challenge Recipe: No-Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake
November brought us a fluffy mousse-like version of pumpkin pie. A majority of bakers made this cheesecake as their Thanksgiving dessert, which always means so much to me. (It truly warms my heart that my recipes are part of your special holidays. Thank you so much.) Many assembled this recipe as the full size cheesecake, but there were a lot of no bake pumpkin cheesecake jars and other mini variations. Toppings were varied and beautiful– crushed gingersnap cookies, toasted nuts, caramel, mountains of whipped cream, and more. So many ways to serve this no bake cheesecake filling!
One of my favorite recipe reviews came from reader Tiffany:
“This recipe was so quick & easy to accomplish. Perfectly smooth & light in texture, not too sweet & absolutely delectable! Are you thinking it couldn’t possibly get any better? Top it off with BOTH the salted caramel & whipped cream… mmm pumpkin, caramel, fall time goodness. Thank you for yet another delicious recipe!”
We gathered as many no-bake pumpkin cheesecake emailed photo entries as we could and included them below. Another way to enter the November Baking Challenge was to make the alternate recipe. The alternate recipe is different each month and November’s was any recipe from 2020’s Sally’s Pie Week. Those recipes published right after the No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake. We saw many of those entries come through and decided to include them below. Such a delicious month!

Sally,
I baked several of your recipes for Thanksgiving this year… your Blueberry muffin cake/loaf, your Oatmeal wheat pancakes with Blueberry add in, your white chocolate pumpkin snickerdoodles and I attempted your honey butter yeast rolls. I had an issue and was unable to complete the rolls and thought you might could help. I placed the dough in a glass bowl to sit in a preheated 200 degree oven (temp turned off) for the 2 hrs and then covered and placed in the refrigerator over night. When I took it out to knead the dough and shape the rolls, I noticed small glass shards from one side of the bowl rim in my dough. This was a nice thick glass mixing bowl. Has this ever happened to you with the temp change from oven to fridge? What bowl do you suggest? Sadly I had to throw the dough away.
Thanks for your input!
Hi Laurie, We are thrilled you have been enjoying so many of our recipes! I’m sorry to hear that your bowl broke. This is the glass mixing bowl set that we use in Sally’s kitchen: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015QV5QQ
We’ve never had that happen to us using these!
Laurie I never use glass when I make my bread dough, always use stainless steel bowls and also rise in my oven. These bowls work perfectly for me. Just another option for you to consider. Enjoy your day, Deb
Congratulations Angie! Everyone’s cheesecake photos are making me hungry! Great job fellow bakers!
Congratulations, Angie! Everyone’s cheesecakes look SO GOOD!
Thank you Sally (and Sally’s assistants) for working so hard!
Happy Holidays everyone, and I cannot WAIT for Sally’s Cookie Palooza!!
