Method

Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Crust Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, melted butter, and ground cinnamon. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Press Crust into Pan

    Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan evenly. Use the back of a measuring cup to pack it down tightly.

  3. 3

    Pre-Bake the Crust

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from oven and set aside to cool.

Filling Preparation

  1. 4

    Beat Cream Cheese

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

  2. 5

    Add Sugar and Pumpkin Puree

    Gradually add the granulated sugar and pumpkin puree to the cream cheese, mixing until fully incorporated.

  3. 6

    Incorporate Remaining Ingredients

    Add sour cream, eggs, vanilla extract, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Mix on low speed until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

  4. 7

    Pour Filling into Crust

    Pour the pumpkin cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Baking and Cooling

  1. 8

    Bake the Cheesecake

    Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly jiggles when gently shaken.

  2. 9

    Cool and Refrigerate

    Once baked, turn off the oven and crack open the oven door. Allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

Serving

  1. 10

    Prepare to Serve

    Once chilled, run a knife around the edges of the cheesecake to loosen it from the pan. Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan.

  2. 11

    Add Topping

    Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon as desired before serving.

  3. 12

    Slice and Enjoy

    Slice the cheesecake into wedges and serve chilled. Enjoy your delicious pumpkin cheesecake!
