Show Notes
Clinton Kelly whips up an easy pumpkin swirl cheesecake that'll make you forget your Halloween candy regrets. On this spooky episode of the Chewed Up Show, hosts Clinton Kelly, Carla Hall, and Michael Symon create a stunning pumpkin swirl cheesecake using cream cheese, pumpkin puree, and warm pumpkin spice flavors baked in a graham cracker crust. The hosts kick things off with a hilarious Halloween candy swap, then move into the kitchen to prepare this simple but impressive fall dessert. Between baking, they play "Pumpkin Spice or Pumpkin Lies"—a game where Michael challenges Clinton and Carla to guess whether unusual pumpkin spice products are real or completely made up. The finished cheesecake is served with softly whipped cream and tastes even better than it looks. Subscribe to the Chewed Up Show on YouTube for new episodes every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
