Ingredients

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
