Ingredients

For the crust:

1 1/2 cups of cinnamon graham cracker crumbs

3 tablespoons of brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the filling

3 (8 oz) packages of cream cheese at room temperature

1 1/2 cups of sugar

1/4 teaspoon of salt

5 eggs

1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree or 2 cups of fresh pumpkin

1 tablespoon of vanilla

1/3 cup of Bailey's the liquor

2 teaspoons of cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg

whipped cream

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 9 inch springform pan.

In a bowl combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, ginger and melted butter.

Stir until well blended and the crumbs are evenly moist.

Pour into the pan and press evenly onto the bottom and about 1 1/12 inches up the side of the pan.

Bake until set about 5 min

Let cool on reack reduce oven to 325

Filling:

Beat Cream cheese, sugar, salt in large bowl on med speed until smooth and fluffy. Avoid lumps.

Add eggs one at a time beating well after each one.

Mix in the pumpkin, vanilla, Baileys, cinnamon and nutmeg just until blended.

Pour mixture into crust and spread evenly.

Before baking cover the ouside bottom on the springform pan with aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet in about 2 inces of hot water. The steam from the water will help prebent the top from splitting.

Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour until the filling is set but the center still jiggles slightly when gently shaken. It will firm when it cools.

When cheesecake is done turn off oven but leave the cheese cake in the oven with the door left open slightly until the cake is cooled. (about 1 hour.)

The edges will be slightly puffed

Cover and refigerate until well-chilled overnight if possible but at least 8 hours

When ready to serve unclasp and remove the pan sides.

Cut cheesecake into slices dipping the knife into hot water and wiping dry before each cut

Top with a little whip cream
