Cheesecake

Method

Cheesecake

  1. 1

    Prepare the crust

    Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.

  2. 2

    Make the cheesecake filling

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract, mixing until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice until fully incorporated.

  3. 3

    Bake the cheesecake

    Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour.

  4. 4

    Cool and refrigerate

    Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
