Cheesecake Ingredients
Method
Preparation Directions
- 1
Prepare the crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer.

Make the cheesecake filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add in the granulated sugar and beat until well combined. Add the sour cream, vanilla extract, and spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger) and mix well. Finally, add the eggs one at a time, beating just until incorporated after each addition.

Bake the cheesecake
Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for about 1 hour.

Chill and serve
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Before serving, dust the top with powdered sugar and garnish with additional spices if desired.
