Infused Pumpkin Cheesecake

Get ready to elevate your fall dessert game with a twist on the classic pumpkin cheesecake. This Ricotta Pumpkin Cheesecake combines the richness of ricotta cheese with the warm and comforting flavors of pumpkin spice. It's a creamy masterpiece that will have your taste buds dancing in delight.


Infuse your cheesecake in a way that suits you! For the crust, use cannabis-infused butter instead of regular butter. Alternatively, medicate the filling by stirring in a tincture for simplicity. To add cannabis via concentrates like rosin, hash, kief, budder, or FECO, gently heat a tablespoon of coconut oil, dissolve the desired dosage of concentrate, and beat it into the cheesecake batter with the eggs.


Let's dive into this simple yet indulgent recipe!


Ingredients:

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
