Two days to go! It’s Tuesday before Thanksgiving. Time to bake a sumptuous Pumpkin Cheesecake. This two-layer cheesecake is as gorgeous as it is beautiful. And we don’t want to hear anything about “cracked” cheesecakes—that’s what the Cardamom Infused Whipped Cream is for.
Pumpkin Cheesecake with Cardamom Infused Whipped Cream
Remember, if you’ve been following this Five Day Plan, you made the Flaky Pie Crust on Day 5! Even if you didn’t, embrace your inner Ina Garten: store bought is fine! Now it’s time for Pumpkin pie + Cheesecake. Fill that pie crust with a vanilla-rich, smooth cheesecake base and perfectly-spiced pumpkin filling on top. Our Pumpkin Pie Spice shines in this one. Pie, oh my!
Cardamom Whipped Cream
Cardamom Simple Syrup meets heavy cream in this sultry, spiced dreamy topping. Whip up a batch of Cardamom Simple Syrup and use a little for this whipped cream, you’ll still have syrup leftover for tea sweetening or cocktail making – like our Green Appletini.
Chinese 5 Spice Pecan Pie
Does your family need more than one pie option? (Relatable.) Try this divine, sultry spiced pecan pie. When we tested this one in the Teaching Kitchen, we all paused, took another bite and had one of those a-ha moments. This pie was one of those moments when we said: This pie. This is how you use spices.
