Filling

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the crust

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine 1.5 cups of graham cracker crumbs, 0.5 cups of melted butter, and 0.25 cups of granulated sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.

  2. 2

    Make the filling

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. Add the spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger) and mix well. Finally, add the eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined after each addition.

  3. 3

    Bake the cheesecake

    Pour the pumpkin cheesecake filling into the prepared crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour.

  4. 4

    Cool and serve

    Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving. Garnish with whipped cream if desired.
