Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling:

  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

For the Topping (optional):

  • Whipped cream
  • Ground cinnamon or nutmeg for garnish

Direction

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

  • Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for about 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool.

  • Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sugar and beat until well combined.

  • Add Pumpkin and Spices: Add the pumpkin puree, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt. Beat on low speed until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

  • Pour into Crust: Pour the filling into the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

  • Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 55-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and crack the oven door, letting the cheesecake cool in the oven for about 1 hour.

  • Cool and Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

  • Serve: Before serving, top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg, if desired.
