🍰 MY FAVORITE PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE RECIPE 🍰
🛒 Ingredients
For the crust:
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
½ teaspoon cinnamon
For the cheesecake filling:
3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling!)
3 large eggs
¼ cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat: Heat your oven to 325°F.
2️⃣ Make the crust: Mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8–10 minutes, then let cool slightly.
3️⃣ Prepare the filling: Beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the pumpkin purée, sour cream, and vanilla. Mix until combined.
4️⃣ Add the eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time on low speed. Mix in the flour, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg just until combined. Don't overmix!
5️⃣ Bake: Pour the filling over the crust. Bake for about 55–70 minutes, until the edges are set and the center still has a slight jiggle.
6️⃣ Cool slowly: Turn off the oven, crack the oven door, and let the cheesecake rest for about 1 hour. Then cool completely and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
7️⃣ Make it pretty: Top with whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of caramel. Because we deserve a little extra sweetness! 😍🍯
🎃 Fall baking tip: Make it the day before serving for the best flavor and texture!
