How to make it
- CRUST
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Wrap double layer of WIDE heavy-duty aluminum foil around the outside of a 10-inch springform pan (The idea is to make it watertight). This is very important or you will have a soggy crust
- In food processor, combine graham crackers, sugar, cinnamon until graham crackers are very finely ground
- Drizzle melted butter over crumbs in processor bowl
- Pulse until crumbs begin to stick together.
- Press crumbs over bottom (not the sides) of prepared pan.
- Bake in middle of oven until crust is slightly golden, about 10 minutes.
- Transfer to wire rack, cool while preparing filling
- FILLING
- In a large mixing bowl, with electric mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Beat eggs one at a time.
- Add pumpkin and remaining ingredients
- Beat just until mixed
- Pour filling into prepared crust
- Place springform pan in large roasting pan and add hot water to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan
- Bake cheesecake until the filling is slightly puffed and softly set and top is golden, about 1 1/2 hours
- Carefully transfer cheesecake to a wire rack to cool
- Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Use knife to cut around the side of the pan to loosen the cheesecake
- Release pan sides, cut the cheesecake into wedges, and serve
