  • Author: Nora Bennett

Ingredients

– 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
– ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 cups cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup canned pure pumpkin
– 3 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
– ¼ teaspoon ground ginger

– Whipped cream for topping (optional)
– Ground cinnamon for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Follow these straightforward steps to create your Pumpkin Cheesecake:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well blended and press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
3. Bake the Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and allow to cool.
4. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
5. Add Pumpkin: Add the canned pumpkin, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until fully combined and smooth.
6. Pour the Filling: Pour the pumpkin filling over the cooled graham cracker crust. Spread evenly.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.
8. Cool: Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour. After that, remove and let it cool to room temperature.
9. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for 4-6 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the cheesecake to set completely.
10. Serve: Remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice the cheesecake and garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.
