Happy National Pumpkin Cheesecake Day (October 21)! Although some of us start really early with pumpkin recipes, October and November are definitely my peak pumpkin enjoyment months.
Many of us are already making our Thanksgiving plans—oh, yes, we are!—and pumpkin desserts are always on my table. Think about adding one of these gluten-free Pumpkin Cheesecake recipes to your dessert spread!
I fondly remember enjoying two particular gluten-free Pumpkin Cheesecake recipes shortly after going gluten free. One was a full-sized cheesecake, which I ended up making for my gluten-free friends and later my support group. Another was a recipe for individual mini pumpkin cheesecakes.
You’ll find recipes for those and more in this yummy gluten-free dessert roundup!
To help all of you who are on diets that may be more restrictive than simply gluten free, you’ll also find grain-free, low-carb, sugar-free, keto, and vegan recipes included.
There are over 40 pumpkin cheesecake recipes in this collection–again, both traditional-sized and minis—plus, another dozen pumpkin cheesecake-themed recipes that include bars, pancakes, crepes, dips, mousse, muffins, and more because not everyone who loves the pumpkin cheesecake flavor combo wants it in a cake.
Frankly, it’s a treat to simply look at all these photos and imagine the deliciousness, in whatever form but I hope you’ll choose one or two to make soon!

Another AMAZING roundup Shirley – thanks for including my recipe π
-Cassidy
Shirley says
Thanks, Cassidy, and it was my pleasure! Your cheesecake looks fabulous and so do all the other options. I get excited just looking at them and pondering that first creamy pumpkin-y cheesy bite. π
xo,
Shirley
Kalinda says
Wow, it’s kind of amazing that you were able to find so many gluten-free pumpkin cheesecake recipes. That is a lot of pumpkin cheesecakeyness. (I made up a word for the occasion.)
Thanks for writing these roundups, and thanks for including me!
Shirley says
Kalinda–I agree! I am in awe of all the fabulous recipes I found. π Love the new word … sounds perfect for all of this goodness. π So happy to include those beautiful mini cheesecakes of yours!

Ina Gawne says
Shirley all of these recipes look scrumptious! We love pumpkin anything and what an amazing choice of recipes here…thanks for sharing! π
Judee says
Shirley,
There is nothing easier than finding so many gluten free recipes all in one post! I appreciate your roundups and look forward to all the variety. Pumpkin and cheesecake is a winner.. Can’t wait to explore them and find that special dessert for Thanksgiving.. Hope your Thanksgiving is a happy one.. I know it will be a hard one for you.
Shirley Braden says
Happy Thanksgiving, Judee! I always appreciate your positive feedback and support! I’m confident that there are some selections here that will work for you when you get ready to make your pumpkin cheesecake. π

Nancy says
Shirley, These all look so wonderful! Trying to take off the 10 pounds I’ve put on this year, but might have to breakdown and indulge anyway. Luckily, I can use the lactase enzyme to consume dairy since my body has decided it doesn’t want me to eat nuts or coconut anymore! Thanks for sharing.
Shirley Braden says
Nancy–There are some really great options here! I added a recipe for pumpkin muffins with a cheesecake swirl after you commented. A single muffin might be all you need! Perhaps the rest can go in the freezer–or be gifted. π No nuts or coconut in the recipe either. π
Shirley
Nancy says
Wow, thanks. I’m afraid I have to admit that I did make the cheesecake from glutenfreepalate.
I made a couple of minor tweaks but it was wonderful and disappeared over 4 days. At least there were two of us eating it, and I eliminated the crust. Now I’ll wait a little bit before trying those muffins, but they look fantastic! Thanks again, Nancy
Shirley Braden says
I love hearing that you made a variation of Chrystal’s recipe, Nancy! Pumpkin cheesecake wouldn’t last long here either and that would be with two of us eating it. I need to make a gluten-free, dairy-free version for Son to be able to join in, which would probably end up being a vegan version because I think vegan cheesecakes are pretty awesome. Unfortunately for you, they’re not nut free though. And, yes, I myself keep thinking about those muffins. I’m even wondering about making a dairy-free version of those. π
Shirley
Nancy says
Shirley, The muffins will certainly be on the menu sometime soon. They both look wonderful. But, I am going to show a little restraint before baking another treat! Good luck with the vegan cheesecake. Thanks again
Michele says
Pumpkin cheese cake sounds heavenly to me!
Shirley Braden says
Michele–They really are a special treat. I’ve enjoyed several different recipes over the years. π
