Pumpkin Cheesecake

What is it?

A 30-ounce frozen cheesecake from Trader Joe’s, built on a cream cheese base and blended with real pumpkin and pumpkin pie spices. The filling is smooth and dense, with the pumpkin mixed in throughout rather than added as a separate layer. That gives it a more even flavor than a plain cheesecake, while the spice blend brings cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger into the mix. Sold as a whole dessert, it needs thawing before serving and cuts into standard slices for a small gathering or a few days in the fridge. Like other seasonal Trader Joe’s desserts, it leans into fall flavors in a full cheesecake format.
