Description

This Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe is the perfect blend of creamy cheesecake and spiced pumpkin flavor, creating a deliciously smooth dessert that’s ideal for autumn gatherings or any special occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

1¾ cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup unsalted butter
15 ounces pumpkin puree
24 ounces cream cheese
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
½ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until crumbly. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth, then gradually add both sugars and mix until combined.
Add the pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and salt to the cream cheese mixture and mix well.
Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined after each addition.
Pour the pumpkin cheesecake filling over the crust in the springform pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes or until set. Allow to cool, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.

Notes

For an extra touch, serve with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. Be sure to use pure pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling for the best flavor.
